Bernstein is a charter member of the "over the hill" gang. He and Woodward broke ONE story and have lived off that their entire careers.  They're the Joe Namaths of journalism - Namath made a career out of ONE (fixed) Super Bowl win and did very little the rest of his career. After 45 years, most people don't remember these has-beens and they are just not relevant anymore and haven't been for  long time.
