Investigative journalist Carl Bernstein is calling on the media to do a better job covering special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Speaking on CNNs Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter on Sunday, Bernstein said the media is focused on the fighting over the report instead of its actual contents.
I think weve made a big mistake in the press about how weve covered the Mueller report, Bernstein said. Weve gotten totally wrapped up in the warfare in the Congress between Republicans and Democrats and is there obstruction of justice or is there not obstruction of justice.
Bernstein, best known for his reporting on the Watergate scandal, pointed to the evidence surrounding President Trump in the more than 400-page report.
There are dozens and dozens of leads in there about Trumps business dealings, things having to do with women as well that we know about from elsewhere about his business dealings, about oligarchs, about money laundering, about Ponzi schemes, he said.
Bernstein implored the press to do a better job of making clear to Americans the connection between Trumps actions and the direction of the country.
We are not making, in the press, the connections between whats going on in the country and Donald Trump, the president, Bernstein said. We need to be covering the country as well and what people are talking about, thinking about, saying at the dinner table and connecting them to what is going on in Washington and in his campaign.
The Mueller report was first delivered to Attorney General William Barr in March, who released a four-page summary of the special counsel's nearly two years of work to Congress.
Barr then gave a news conference widely covered by the media before publicly releasing a redacted version of the Mueller report.
Mueller will testify before Congress regarding the contents of his report this month.
Can any Jew explain why so may American Jews are anti-gun and communist?
The socialists from all over the world have persecuted Jews from time immemorial and the Jews continue to suck up to them. WHY?
BINGO! Carl Bernstein's gone off the rails...
BINGO! Carl Bernstein’s gone off the rails...
*****************************
He was never on the rails.
His only claim to fame was being a deep state dupe. Dude was spoon fed like a child in a high chair.
Gotta admit - Carl Bernstein loves those disgruntled FBI agents with an ax to grind. And ax to grind AND oodles of taxpayer funded info to spread around to buy the corrupt press.
As long as what they’re spreading is the will of the deep state and scripted to support The Narrative, Carl is all for it.
Bernstein was one of the reporters on CNN’s initial coverage of the Steele dossier. He needs to be questioned under oath about what he knew and when he knew it.
Bernstein is known for more than Watergate.
He left his pregnant wife for a girlfriend and she wrote a thinly veiled book about the slimeball, which was later made into the movie “Heartburn”.
