Mr. Bernstein fails to state that what the embedded established is most fearful of: the loss income that could result from any undue scrutiny of their jobs and responsibilities both career and appointed employees of our  Federal Government  For most of my 
adult life, I've watched and read articles by these  misfits - these so-called reporters - who pontificate on issues they seldom understand, have inappropriately researched, and upon which they have drawn conclusions intended to further their own agenda while fueling divisiveness in our society.  The three broadcast networks have historically been liberal in their reporting, all the way back to  the 1940's.   The cable networks CNN, MSNBC, HLN and CNBC follow that same model.  The public has had it.  Up to their eyeballs.   We're sick and tired of "anonymous" sources, etc.  Just give us the facts, AND LET US DRAW OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.  The media has protected the extremist liberals in our society long enough. Thank you, Mr. President.
