Carl Bernstein chats with fellow Vanity Fair writer Michael Shnayerson on the MorningNoon&Night Show set.
It’s been over 30 years since Carl Bernstein’s role in the breaking of the Watergate scandal to the press (along with Bob Woodward of course) made him household name. Within that same timeframe, the award-winning journalist and author has also spent time in his North Haven home as well as played in many softball games just around the corner. It must be a nice escape from reporting on the politics of Washington D.C. and beyond. On the Fourth of July, Bernstein sat with MorningNoon&Night Show host Chris O’Connor and shared his reporter’s journey through truth, politics, and history. His most recent work is his book about the potential presidency of Hillary Clinton, titled A Woman In Charge. The content has already created a buzz within the political spectrum.Bernstein’s meticulous analysis of Clinton’s campaign, and particularly its sometimes rocky relationship with the media, proves that no party is protected from his search for the best explanation of the truth. While the Democratic candidate remains the primary target of Bernstein’s recent work, the current Administration has remained a frequent topic of discussion for the journalist as well. Just last year, for instance, he wrote an article in Vanity Fair that called for a Senate investigation into the presidency of George W. Bush.When Bernstein spoke with Plum during the recent holiday, his personal and historical perspective on the role of the media, the government and the people in the war in Iraq was a refreshing reminder about the importance of freedom of speech and the press in our modern democracy. As much as we tried to keep him with us for as long as possible, the journalist had another role to fill as batter and fielder at one of his many softball games.
