CNN commentator and veteran reporter Carl Bernstein on Sunday accused President Trump of lying "day in and day out."
He deserves respect as the duly elected president of the United States," Bernstein said on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "That doesnt mean he deserves not to be called on lies. He has lied as no president of the United States in my lifetime has, day in and day out."
"It is our job to, as I said in that address to the correspondents' dinner last night: follow the money, yes, but follow the lies as well."
Bernstein urged fellow reporters to find the "best obtainable version of the truth."
"We are struggling to cover factually, contextually, with nuance, who this president is, who this individual is, who his family is, who his business relationships are with, what his policies are, and how those working with him are doing," he said.

Wrong! Respect is earned it is not automatically granted. Plus I would question the "duly elected president" as that is highly suspect.
