Carl Bernstein is calling on journalists to commit to a "different kind of reporting" in response to a "malignant presidency" unlike any the country has seen before.

"We're in foreign territory," Bernstein said Friday on CNN's "New Day."

He added, "We have never been in a malignant presidency like this before. It calls on our leaders, it calls on our journalists to do a different kind of reporting, a different kind of dealing with this presidency and the president."

Nixon had a bunch of pantywaists Republicans that caved to the Marxist. There is really no difference today, lying Ryan sells US out daily, and would take Trump down and out if he could.

President Trump is calling for a different kind of reporting too. He’s asking for honesty and objectivity. That would be something new from CNN, NYTimes, and WaPo.

Malignant? ...”Deal with”?...

This guy needs to tone down the rhetoric. What is done with a malignancy? Answer: It is surgically removed and exterminated.

Is this what Bernstein wants for Trump? Where is the Secret Service?

Well, Mr Bernstein, your rhetoric doesn’t leave any wiggle room. It is absolute. No chance of any dialog or discussion. So, when what is coming gets here and blood is shed it is YOU who was intransigent. YOU whose mind was closed. YOU who staked out a claim of moral superioty. Just sayin, dude...

He added that leaders in the military, intelligence community and the Republican leadership know of the "malignancy" and has them "worried."

Bernstein needs to name names - well other than McCain and Lindsey Graham. Those of us in flyover would like to know WHO in the Deep State is working against the President we elected.

And as far as 'news coverage' is concerned?

Bernstein's gotta be kidding - how on earth can it get MORE biased or MORE hateful? They'd have to start making up stuff - Oh wait... guess they're already doing that...

“Carl Bernstein calls for ‘different kind of reporting’ to take on ‘malignant presidency’”

The ancient and failing Carl Bernstein is a day late and a dollar short: a “different kind of reporting” has been under way for months: it’s called fake news, and fake news is pretty much the ONLY kind of “news” that’s been reported by the main stream media since Trump was elected President.

Heck, first use the same journalism they did with Obama:
“He’s the greatest. Everything is great. Anyone who disagrees is a racist. Any problems are some one else’s fault.”

I think something much greater is happening -- and that is that we are in the midst of a malignant presidency. And that malignancy is known to the military leaders of the country -- it's known to the Republican leadership in Congress who recognize it -- and it's known to the intelligence community.

Here is what I read between the lines: Bernstein is suggesting a coup via the 25th Amendment.

Keith Olbermann suggested that BEFORE Trump even took office.

And John Schindler, a former intelligence analyst turned columnist suggested it (casually) on twitter yesterday.

But just how mentally deranged can a squeaky clean multi-millionaire be? Seriously?

Billionaire - with grown children who love and respect him... Trump's crime was he came to Washington and did NOT 'pivot' toward corrupt so-called 'elites'.

Instead he rolled up his sleeves and started working to keep his promises to the American people.

That's why they hate him.

I’m sure Bernstein has frantically been digging for any dirt he can find on Trump since before the election. Obviously he hasn’t found anything.

The press is a pack of rabid wild dogs running after 'shiny'... What a disgusting profession.

And Bernstein has been repeating the same BS about Trump's mental state ever since the election. I think this latest Bernstein outburst is a result of their Russia attacks failing. However, it contains some troubling facts: There are many in entrenched positions who would like to use the 25th amendment to replace him.
