Nolte: Someone Tell Carl Bernstein the Cover-Up Is Worse than the Crime
http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/08/28/nolte-someone-tell-carl-bernstein-the-cover-ups-worse-than-the-crime/
CNN's Carl Bernstein, the man made co-famous through his historic Watergate reporting, lied to us - to all of us. And he is now engaged in a cover up to protect this lie. ...
Which begs the question: Why did Bernstein lie? Why Did Bernstein tell us Davis was not the source when Davis was the source?
Personally, and this is just one man's informed opinion, I think CNN just gets off on lying, on hoaxing the public. After all, it was a pretty dumb thing to lie about, unless you are just into lying, and CNN seems to enjoy lying, well, just because.
Anyway, we also know Bernstein's Trump Tower story is fake news because Bernstein's source himself - the aforementioned Lanny Davis - has admitted the story is not true, and since the entire story is about what Michael Cohen says Trump knew and Lanny Davis is Michael Cohen's attorney, there is simply no way for Bernstein and CNN to defend the story. (And this is why Bernstein and CNN cannot hide behind the shield that other sources back up the story, as CNN's chief conspiracy theorist Brian Stetler is attempting to do.)
If that is not enough to convince you the story is fake news, while under oath, Cohen told congress he knew nothing about Trump's foreknowledge of the Trump Tower meeting.
This seems like a good time to recap:
1) Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame told us sources told him Michael Cohen would testify that Trump knew in advance of the Trump Tower meeting.
2) Carl Bernstein, who was played by Dustin Hoffman in the movie (which had to be a tad humiliating when the other guy is played by Robert Redford), told us Lanny Davis was NOT his source.
3) NONE of this is true (except the Dustin Hoffman being humiliating thing).
4) And now, just like a certain president who dug in and denied all wrongdoing, even as all the president's men were exposed and publicly shamed, Bernstein is standing by his story.
As Breitbart's Matt Boyle reports, CNN's refusal to retract this very fake news, even after their own source (who is also the horse's mouthpiece) has admitted it's not true, is having a very damaging effect on CNN’s morale.
How could it not?
CNN blew this story bigly, CNN's own source has recanted, the defenses have all crumbed, and CNN's still stands by it?
Meanwhile, one of my sources (who is not Lanny Davis) informs me that ever since his story fell apart, the 74-year-old Bernstein sits in a dark corner of the CNN break room swilling soy milk and muttering "I am not a fake news crook."
RETRACTION: That stuff about Bernstein in the break room is a lie ( I do, however, stand by my reporting that Lanny Davis was not my source).
See how easy it is to issue a retraction when you are not a fake news crook with an enemies list filled with the name TRUMP?
Does no one love Tricky Carl enough to explain to him that the cover up is always worse than the fake news crime?
