Carl is right. We do need a different kind of reporting than we have seen lately. Here is what we know:

1. The Fake News Initiave seems to be falling flat.

2. After nearly a year no Trump-Russia connection has been uncovered.

So a new direction is needed and I have a recommendation. It’s an approach I have named Honest News. For CNN, MSNBC, NYT and WP it will be revolutionary if implemented. And I fully expected it will be ...

Oops, I just woke from a really great dream where the MSM guys were all riding white horses and chasing down illegal aliens while praising President Trump.

Well, they’ve tried fake news. Maybe they should add a twist of time travel, or radiation-created monsters like Godzilla.

Just another reprobate coming out of the closet for all to see.

The fascinating thing about this article is the absence of Bob Woodward's name. Carl would be another nobody without Woodward.

So, what does Carl's famous colleague have to say about the current state of play?

Famed investigative journalist Bob Woodward criticized the media’s open bias toward President Trump on Tuesday in remarks following a screening of “All The President’s Men” in Washington, D.C."

I don't always agree with Woodward, but lately he's been as correct as Alan Dershowitz. Something tells me the left may be about to have a purge.

You can read the fear in his words. They never thought their leftist utopian world would be turned upside down. This nation has a malignancy all right. It’s called liberalism. This presidency just keeps getting better and better.

Is Bernstein advocating murder/assassination of conservatives, just like happened to Scalise?

I think he is.

Carl Bernstein calls for 'different kind of reporting'

So publishing blatantly fake news (Goebbelsian propaganda) isn't sufficing any more, eh Carl?

You idiots lost all your credibility over the last 8 years as we had a TRUE malignant presidency and you aided and abetted it.

You are nothing but propagandists and we won’t listen to you anymore.

There is only one kind of reporting of the news...THE TRUTH.

I’m sick of opinion, conjecture, fake, and interviewing their co-workers for opinions.

Who, What, When, Where, Why (or how) are the hallmarks of news reporting. Not “might”, “maybe”, “could’a”, “should’a”, “would’a”.

News people are more interested in be a minor “star” than reporting the news. Most opinionates have a bone to pick with the elite, while at the same time wanting to be part of that world.

Egos and journalism, do not mix.

Basically Bernstein is using the same kind of reporting in advocacy of different reporting...

Liberals need to stop using the media as Obama’s mouth piece. Everyone covering for this fool is getting destroyed. This is why Obama the weak exerts power.

It used to be the media let their darking expose themselves and then the media did the moderation not exposing themselves. Somehow with Obama everything changed

What exactly is he saying, that Trump is evil because he enforces the immigration laws passed by previous constitutionally elected legislature? That he wants better trade deals for the American worker? That he won't squander taxpayers money on climate change hoax? That he doesn't want American tech workers to have to train their foreign replacements? That he wants the EPA et al off our backs? That he supports the constitution?

And he's mentally impaired and reckless, and should be removed from office? I've not seen or heard of him having a drunken meltdown and throwing things at staff after the election was called, like Hillary. His relationships with foreign leaders are amazing and yes, he and his wife have class and know which fork to use. And no, he doesn't put his feet on the Oval Office desk, leaving his gathered staff to gaze upon the soles of his feet, like O’butthole.

Obama was the media's mouthpiece, and he really emboldened his team!

Something the media never tell you-
He was a Red Diaper baby, both parents card carrying Communists

“Alfred Bernstein, father of the former Washington Post journalist, ..... From 1942 to 1947 he was also a member of the Communist Party.
Carl Bernstein’s mother, Sylvia Bernstein, was active both in efforts to end racial segregation in Washington and in the campaign to save the lives of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg; she also was a member of the Communist Party
during the same period.”
THE LEFT SIDE OF CHILDHOOD By ELINOR LANGER


While they have made a very strong effort too scrub the record I believe
both of Ruth Bader Ginzberg’s parents were also Communists.

What, exactly, does Bernstein figure needs to be changed from the ridiculous cacophony of hostility that we have before us? We have "professional" journalists sneering about the size of the President's hands - does it get any worse than that?

It's beyond partisan, it's beyond bias. People who don't even like Trump have come to loathe the press and the poll numbers prove it. I'd say it was time for some serious reconsideration all right, because doubling down on a losing hand is a good way to go broke.

This Leftist scum helped pull off one coup, he’s trying for a second.

Nixon was not perfect,but knowing what we know now, he should have and could have faught it. Clinton and Obama got the pass for doing much,much more impeachable offenses. Nixon resigned because he had honor. Was it the right thing to do? The Republicans just like today had no spine. Democrats purposely help lose Vietnam and did everything to undermine the country just like today.This excrement Bernstein is a hypocritical,journalistic whore and ideologue.
