This week’s Liberal Media Scream features journalist Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame calling for a deep dive on why people support President Trump.On CNN’s Reliable Sources, Bernstein accused Trump of bringing a “cold civil war almost to the point of ignition” by promoting “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions.”And he urged an exploration of why people support him “no matter what he does, no matter how outrageous seemingly his conduct is.” He urged the media to do “some real reporting” by making “our table bigger in terms of our reportorial landscape.” (Video) “Look, this cold civil war predates Donald Trump.

Carl if you want an investigation you can hire Fusion GPS with your own money. They will give you the results you want. Carl is a fake journalist on a fake news site.

Why do people support him " no matter what he does " ? You really mean why do people support Trump no matter what the MSM says he does/did. You all have working overtime for the last 2 1/2/ years trying to take him down. You take us for stupid. We see through your games / charades. You have confused us with the dopey dem base. and I think that makes you angry, that we don' fall for your cr*p.

Who cares what Carl says or what he wants?
No investigations are required. Trump is the duly elected president, decided by the voters according to the rules.
Bernstein and the MSM think they are the elite who know more than the voters and do not need to abide by the electoral rules.

Carl is, as usual, asking the right questions to the wrong people. Why doesn't Bernstein and the media ask the Trump haters and Trump resistance why they oppose everything that Trumps says and does. These people oppose Trump even if it is for something that they had supported (until Trump supported it also). Why are Democrats and their resistance, starting on the night of the election in 2016, waging their "cold civil war almost to the point of ignition?" Look into the mirror Carl. You and your liberal friends are the ones tearing the country apart, not Trump!

Again. None of you numb nuts in the MSM had one tiny problem with Trump until he became president. When you explain to me what flipped your switch and blew all of your common sense circuits. I dont want to hear a word from you on the subject. Trump Won
Clinton Lost.

Liberal media: “What is WRONG with you people?!!!”
True story: a liberal friend on social media posted a rant on how awful the president is allowing children to starve, go without medical care, etc, etc, at the border. She characterized the president in the vilest of terms. Very offensive. A few of the poster’s more conservative friends tried to defend Pres. Trump, with one who actually lived by the border trying to explain what it really is like. Didn’t make a bit of difference. The OP exploded, as did her liberal friends and they verbally attacked anyone defending Trump. The OP ended up unfriending four people, calling them among other things, cold, heartless, uncompassionate and declaring they had NO RIGHT to defend the “orange hemorrhoid” (her words) on her wall. Then she explained how open minded she was - that she has friends who actually voted for Trump, but they never post ANYTHING political on their walls, including support for Trump, never try to defend him with her and that was good. So - tolerance means she can say whatever she wants and you can’t, if you disagree with her.
Until progressives take the time to actually LISTEN to conservatives they’ll never understand why we support the man who I believe will go down in history as one of republic’s greatest president ever! Carl? Carl? Are you listening?!

Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame (and little else since 1974). So the boil on his backside has been festering for the last FORTY-FIVE years. I am embarrassed for him because he couldn't find any other job beside muckraking. And I am surprised he can even sit down.

I'm struggling to understand exactly what “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions” that President Trump has been promoting?? All these morons know is talking points, but cannot furnish any specifics. Trump advocating policies that Bernstein and the rest of the Progressive MSM rabble and lynch mob don't like does not de facto render those policies “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions.”
Critics need to compare and contrast how what Trump is doing has never been done by a President in the history of the Republic in order to make a case. They haven't articulated one because they don't have any case or grounds....

For one thing, because Democrats are baby murderers. Face the truth. You turn the baby over in the womb, pull it out by the legs, stab the back of the neck with scissors, open the scissors to make a hole, suck the brains out, crush the head, pull out the whole body with forceps. That is a late term abortion. Bernstein supports it. Obama supports it. Kamala supports it. Elizabeth Warren supports it. Trump does not. I am for Trump.

And his lack of historical perspective on his so-called "blind" support of a president is just stunning! FDR, JFK, Obummer?? Hello!

You cannot understand what you do not know. These liberal elites believe only what they hear from each other. They have no real acquaintance with regular Americans. We are as different as daylight and dark. We are rational common sense people who make this country work and yet, elites like this guy degrade and demean us because we are hard working, God fearing, patriots who actually know our history and why the country was founded. We are not illiterates nor are we hedonists who are driven by pleasure. We are men and women who get up everyday and go to work, raise families, honor God, and love this country. You know, the salt of the earth kind of folk. The picture you liberals have created in your own minds regarding the great unwashed masses as you call us falls very short of reality. While you have hopped on any liberal bandwagon coming down the pike, we have not. We hold to our traditions and beliefs that have served us well. You don’t know us. You are not one of us. And you have no business judging us. What irks you is the fact that we still have the numbers to defeat your foolishness, and by God’s Grace we will do it again come November 2020. You really have awakened a sleeping giant and it is about to crush you and your anti-American progressive globalist agenda. Our tolerance for your kind is over. We want our country back and we have the means to take it. KAG 2020.

This has been old crank should go ask 'Deep Throat' for the answer he should know.
Now acting Presidential and being a real leader is authoritarian? Hint to the washed up liberal retard, "we are not democratic" no mob rule here like on the left.
What this bozo is saying to the media press "do some real reporting" as in print more lies so the low IQ stooges on the left can hate the President more. If the media would tell the truth about Trump he would gain more support and get things done.

If you really want to know, Carl, tell the NYTimes to allow for diverse thought. They champion diverse everything-else, but don't even allow conservative viewpoints from readers. (Example: Today's Comments on Epstein's Ties.) Why did people vote for Trump? The writer Jim Rutenberg asked that in an OpEd right after the election, but had no answer. Later, he argued that Trump was such a threat that the rules of journalism should no longer apply. So they no longer do.

Bernstein is a creepy guy who never stayed true to his wife (ad small children) during his marriage to Nora Ephron and hasn't done a lick of decent reporting since Watergate. Plus he looks like a toad, which is a nasty way to judge him but......... For HIM to judge anyone else is laughable, either re: i.q. (his is questionable) or ethics.

Hmmm. Why do people support DJT? Because he fights. Because he stands between us and liberal barbarism. Because he supports America by helping people to reclaim their souls, not surrender them to dependency. Because he tells it as it is. Because he puts the left into a psychic tailspin and drives them nutso. Because he has given us a first lady of whom we are all very, very proud. Because his ex-wives all like him. Because he knows the difference between a shovel, a pick, a post hole digger and a mattock. Because he has the energy and drive of an olympic athlete. Because he won't be stopped by a mendacious media. Because he knows how to salute. Because he holds the Washington establishment in contempt. Because he gives back his salary to the people. Because he could live in a golden tower and instead sacrifices himself for the American people. Because he takes no prisoners. Because he has perfect comic timing and knows how to eviscerate the leftist fools who oppose him. Because his kids are proud of him and loyal to him. Because he employs a lot of people and knows many of them by name. Because he's so much smarter than he's taken to be. (Have to get back to work . . . somebody pick up here and add more reasons.)

It's easy to explain why people support President Trump. Just look at the hashed out, vile, dishonest, venal mess that the liberals have made of the country. I did not even vote for President Trump in 2016, but I sure as hell will vote for him in 2020. Liberals (democrats, progressives, socialists, whatever they want to be called) are DESTROYING the country all in the name of POWER. They care not a whit for the people, the nation. the peace and happiness of America. They care ONLY for political power. In dedicating their every word, gesture, behavior to that end, they are the ENEMY of the country. President Trump is the first president to call them on their selfish ride toward the cliff of disintegration. Their non-stop attacks on the President reflect their virulent hunger for power and their obstinate opposition to EVERY thing that the President does is as knee-jerk as it can get. If President Trump were to cure cancer, they would still attack him and threaten him with impeachment. When President Trump declared the "media" to be " the enemy", he hit the nail directly on the head.

“Probe”? How presumptuous of you, Carl. You wouldn’t understand most Americans if you lived to be a million. It’s easy to see why Nora Ephron found you to be a real bum:
In 1976, she married journalist Carl Bernstein. In 1979, Ephron had a toddler son, Jacob, and was pregnant with her second son Max when she discovered Bernstein's affair with their mutual friend,[11] married British journalist Margaret Jay. Ephron was inspired by this to write the 1983 novel Heartburn,[12] which was then made into a 1986 Mike Nichols film starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. In the book, Ephron wrote of a husband named Mark, who was "capable of having sex with a Venetian blind."[6] She also wrote that the character Thelma (based on Margaret Jay) looked like a giraffe with "big feet".[6] Bernstein threatened to sue over the book and film but never did.[8]

Talented Nora Ephron is missed. You, Carl, will never be. You cannot go soon enough….

Hey Carl, I'd like to probe where you came up with this:
“No president in the history of the United States in 246 years has expressed the kinds of ideas and thoughts and undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions that he has. We need to start connecting these dots. What do people in the country think of this and why do they think and support him, no matter what he does, no matter how outrageous seemingly his conduct is. We’ve got some real reporting to do that we need to make our table bigger in terms of our reportorial landscape and get out of the political weeds.”
He has cut taxes which hands power back to the people, he has cut the chains of excessive regulation which hands freedom back to the people. Just where do you get this Authoritarian shizzle? Are you confusing speaking with authority with being authoritarian?
You do remember Obama don't you? Oh but as he abused the power of the presidency and acted as a true authoritarian pen and phone in hand, he spoke in velvet tones.
