Bernstein on Trump-Russia Collusion: ‘We Are in the Midst of a Cold Civil War in This Country’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Jul 2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/17/2017 9:54:24 AM PDT by Cheerio

Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” journalist and network contributor Carl Bernstein said the difference between the investigations into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and the Watergate era was the country is “in the midst of a cold civil war.”

Bernstein said, “The difference between Watergate and now, one of the big differences is that we are in the midst of a cold civil war in this country, a political and cultural civil war.”

He added that Fox news has created, “a different media universe,” that is “a caldron taking place in this hot house of political debate in which a fact based debate is becoming impossible in this culture.”

We are fighting fascism, and we must go to war with the leader we have — a leader who, despite his moral flaws, has already made big strides. , Dennis Prager, June 6, 2017

"... a fact based debate is becoming impossible in this culture."

I agree with him on this point, but probably not for the reasons he might think.

Facts are the last things the mainstream media has ever wanted to deal with.

If the wrong decisions get made and actions become a soft coup, the civil war could quickly become a hot one.

another words FOX is telling the American people what the criminal liberal media refused to inform the public about for nearly half a century...meanwhile bernstein makes these comments on the network that just happens to be a sinking ship because of lies and agenda based “reporting”...

Conservatives no longer have to listen/watch the news from the scum-bag, Liberal media.

Because we now have alternatives, that equals a civil-war, ha, ha. They're idiots.

‘We Are in the Midst of a Cold Civil War in This Country’

Gee, how long did it take for him to figure that out?

Hopefully this is not news to most FReepers.

The last leader was an islamo nazi who made huge strides in the destruction of the US of A,. He also had a candidate to continue the agenda and finish the job, all for personal political gain, to the benefit of islam.

He gives Fox news far too much credit... They really believe we’re all stupid.

What commie Karl in-artfully tried to say was”America is not buying our lies and we don’t know what new lies to tell.”

". . . He added that Fox news has created, 'a different media universe,' that is 'a caldron taking place in this hot house of political debate in which a fact based debate is becoming impossible in this culture.'”

What he said, except the last several words were, ". . . political debate in which a 'media-created lies based' debate is becoming impossible in this culture."

Were it not for FoxNews and the citizen ability to blog and post words of truth, the myths created by main street sources might develop and destroy freedom in America.

The fact that a lefty tried to murder a dozen republican congressmen because they were republicans kind of tells me it's not all that cold anymore.

I guess when you're a lib like Bernstein and you suffer from severe recto-cranial inversion, it takes you a while to catch up to anything sort of resembling reality.

Dear Bernstein,

It’s hell when one loses control of the narrative, isn’t it?

The wailing and gnashing of teeth seems more apt to the fall of a walled city than a gaggle of media geese whose honks are repeated by other geese in their flocks.

Pity you refuse to acknowledge other mores, other viewpoints and other policies belonging to the barbarians outside your constructed reality.

Opus, barbarian at the gate.

PS-I also look smashing in leather.

Rush was just talking about this a few minutes ago, and summed it up nicely. Rush stated that what Bernstein is really saying here is that the left is upset that they no longer have a monopoly on what the people hear, and don't hear, on any given issue. With the rise of outlets like Fox News and talk radio, the people now hear both sides of the issues and can make up their own minds, independent of what the left and their allies in the mainstream media want them to think.

That cold civil war has been going on for quite some time.
It’s become more apparent to some because we managed to get past the gatekeepers of the Uniparty and elect someone who values the citizens and the rule of law.
Previously they were able to keep us in check by making sure the GOP always nominated an amnesty candidate.

With Carl Bernstein, it is hard to get past Nora Ephron’s Venetian blind quote.

He’d have sex with a Venetian blind... That was Nora Ephron’s typically withering response to her husband’s affair

Comments on Drudge from this article early this morning were priceless if you want to judge how the propaganda press is doing getting people to believe their garbage.
