Carl Bernstein: Trump’s Media Attacks ‘More Treacherous’ than Nixon’s
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/19/2017 3:39:26 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Just when you thought the MSM might be running out of hyperbole about President Trump’s criticism of the media, along comes Carl Bernstein . . .

On CNN’s Reliable Sources today, Bernstein unleashed a torrent of accusations about the president.

Lowlights:

Trump’s attacks on the media “more treacherous” than Nixon’s.

Apophasis alert: “I’m not about to say anything comparing Hitler and Trump”, but Hitler and Stalin also used the phrase “enemy of the people” about the media.

Trump is “leading a demagogic attack on the institutions of free democracy.”

“This is a terrible time we’re living in.”

I post this for entertainment value on the assumption that no conservative takes Bernstein seriously.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Bernstein’s son is the NYTimes reporter who called Melania a hooker during fashion week.

Bernstein misses the spotlight.His partner's getting all the press these days and,IIRC,*he's* saying that the attacks against DJT are unwarranted.

They all act like Trump invented the idea that the Leftist media is America’s enemy. The TEA party has been saying it for 7 years. Conservatives have been saying it for 20 years. Remember the Moral Majority? That was 40 years ago. The Leftist media is part of the Leftist movement and they are all domestic enemies.

The media’s attacks on Trump are more treacherous than on Nixon too.

The only question about Carl: did he ever have credibity, even in the seventies, or was that also fake news?

Carl Bernstein is still alive???

Or has he just been preserved in a state cryogenically suspended animation until a Republican became President?

Really, Carl? And just how have you and your little comrades been injured by Big Bad Trump? Your pensions and 401Ks have never been worth more, thanks to President Trump. That should concern you, Carl. You are getting on.

Tell us please, what horrendous damage has been done to the Free Speech you guys pretend to care about?

Any time a Republican declines to roll over and die for the fake-news MSM, civilization itself is imperiled.
