 Tampabay: Ex-Watergate writer laments 'idiot culture'
Bernstein, the former Washington Post journalist who, along with fellow reporter Bob Woodward, unearthed the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, said much of today's news has deteriorated into gossip, sensationalism and manufactured controversy.
Bernstein said Bush "is radical in every degree," from a favoritism of the wealthy to a pre-emptive foreign policy to a lack of concern for civil rights.
Even so, Bernstein said he hopes a genuine debate can take place this year about the future of the country, rather than the petty quarrels and meaningless accusations that so often dominate campaign coverage.

Bernstein also lauded L.A.-based bombast rockers Iron Butterfly for their "Bach-like organ chorales" and "spine-chilling dissonance that somehow holds together" in his review of the band's Columbia, Md., show.
Bernstein brutalized "the British groups" on the bill, a bluesy crop that included Zeppelin—touring at the time in support of its first LP—and the Jeff Beck Group, a prototypical hard-rock combo founded by Jimmy Page's former Yardbirds crony.
To Bernstein's ears, these bands hadn't "demonstrated talent in anything but making raucus [sic], unmodulated, unoriginal noise," and the positive feedback their playing received from fans at the festival and from the record-buying public at large "make it unpleasant to contemplate where rock is going."

 Transcript for July 17 - Meet the Press, online at MSNBC - MSNBC.com
BERNSTEIN:  That's correct.  And the reason is that context is all.  It's not just the individual facts.  Just as context is all in the Karl Rove case.
BERNSTEIN:  The Washington Post wanted to confirm it.  We did not, until it became evident that it was the right thing to do, but we didn't want to rush into it until it was clear that there was absolutely no alternative, that, indeed, his spokespeople had authorized it.  We finally went along and said yes.
BERNSTEIN:  Neither of whom has any more idea than the man in the moon who it is.  Bob and I did one really smart thing during Watergate and that is that we told neither of our ex-wives, wives at the time, the identity of Deep Throat.  So...

 SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Carl Bernstein
Famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein now argues that just as the Watergate break-in was the key that opened a strongbox of ugly facts about the Nixon Administration's unbridled abuse of power, so might the Plame affair break open the Bush Administration's imperial modus operandi...
Along with fellow reporter Carl Bernstein, he was assigned to investigate the break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate building in downtown Washington in the early hours of 17 June 1972.
Bernstein, noting that Woodward had been working on this Deep Throat book long before the Vanity Fair revelation, describes his old colleague as someone who is "prone to completing his homework before it is due, or even assigned." Who would know better than the less buttoned-down half of the famous "Woodstein" duo.

Citing meetings between Pope John Paul II and high-level officials in the Reagan administration--including William Casey, director of the C.I.A.--they point to a "secret alliance" as the factor that sealed the collapse of Communism.
Bernstein is joined by Italian journalist Politi, who has covered the papacy for 15 years.
Carl Bernstein's excellent reportage combines with the sometimes irritatingly unctious contributions of Italian journalist Marco Politi to write a book that is filled with so much high-drama and intrigue it is difficult at times to keep in mind that this is not a novel, but real life history being made right before our very eyes.

 American Flag Blog » Carl Bernstein: Leading Liberal Hypocrite
Carl Bernstein, that super-sleuth reporter who is best known for happily allowing himself to be played like a piano in the Watergate investigation, has joined the liberal throng calling for George Bush’s head.
At the time Bernstein and Woodward were meeting Felt in parking garages, it was well known that Felt was accomplished at breaking and entering as well as gathering information on American citizens illegally.
Today Bernstein points an accusatory finger at Bush for “spying on American citizens” (a bogus claim) but he was all too happy way back when to collaborate with an F.B.I. man who had actually been convicted of spying on Americans illegally.

 FORUM: CARL BERNSTEIN & BOB WOODWARD
In the early 1970s, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward broke the Watergate story for The Washington Post and set the standard for modern investigative reporting.
From 1980 to 1984, Bernstein was at ABC News, first as its Washington Bureau Chief, then as a senior correspondent specializing in national security matters.
His critique argued that the journalistic legacy of Watergate is at odds with an increasingly irresponsible media culture, dominated by huge conglomerates, that in the interest of profits (rather than truth) routinely celebrates gossip, the lurid and the loopy, and manufactured controversy at the expense of real reporting.
