| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks I was one of the people who dug into this fraudulent book's claims |
I did several Lexis-Nexis searches that were what Bernard Goldberg lied and claimed he'd done. The results were never close to what he said, and in fact were often the exact opposite. Those of us posting on blogs and forums about this realized Goldberg was making a centerpiece of his book searches he had been too lazy to do and too cynical to think his target audience (Regnery-buying Limbaugh and Hannity and Coulter fans) would ever be exposed to.
All of his books depend on outrageous claims - media owners lie about their politics, the man who was tossed over the most trivial lack of provenance on one of his stories' sources (and the typographical nonsense in the right-wing echo chamber was proven false top to bottom, by the way) actualy ran CBS news. All polls that show Americans to the left of Bush are faked, as are all social statistics and the casualty counts in Iraq.
They're fascism porn. And Goldberg's leading the charge to debase education, the national debate and news. |
| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks A must read |
| Mr. Goldberg has simply and clearly revealed what we all knew as true but were unable to prove. The major media outlets treat us all as children and fools and feed us our daily propaganda pablum. With the insights that Goldberg articulates so clearly perhaps now we can decipher the "news" for what it clearly is. At least we'd be in a position to not be led down the path they have chosen for us to tread. A must read! |
| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks Courageous Revelations |
| This was a much needed book and it was extremely courageous of Goldberg to write it. The foundation for the book is an op-ed he wrote in the Wall Street Journal in February 1996. The op-ed chastised a CBS report that was clearly biased against a Republican presidential candidate; Goldberg stated that "The old argument that the networks and other media elites have a liberal bias is so blatantly true that it's hardly worth discussing anymore." Those comments upset his CBS employers and eventually led to his resignation five years later. This is the story of that op-ed, the reaction to it, especially from Dan Rather, and Goldberg's excellent defense of his comments. In the process, he talks about the severe hypocrisy and double standards that dominates the insulated members of the liberal media. Many in that liberal circle know the bias exists, yet don't care or openly deny it. What makes this a compelling story is it comes from a veteran insider who admits he's not a conservative, never voted for a Republican president, and still has liberal views. It is a quick, easy, and at times hilarious account of how one person decided to 'out' the liberal elites that dominate the information market. Necessary reading given the politicized nature of our society since 9/11. |
| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks Enough with the "liberal media" scam |
| The right-wing establishment has milked this cow dry. [yawn] You want bias? Fox News and its minions should keep you busy for days. |
| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks An awesome book |
| A great book that verified much of what I had learned through my own dealings with the media. A real eye-opener if you want to see how things really work. |
| Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Harper Paperbacks Product Description |
In his nearly thirty years at CBS News, Emmy Award winner Bernard Goldberg earned a reputation as one of the preeminent reporters in the television news business. When he looked at his own industry, however, he saw that the media far too often ignored their primary mission: to provide objective, disinterested reporting. Again and again he saw that the news slanted to the left. For years, Goldberg appealed to reporters, producers, and network executives for more balanced reporting, but no one listened. The liberal bias continued. Now, breaking ranks and naming names, he reveals a corporate news culture in which the closed-mindedness is breathtaking and in which entertainment wins over hard news every time. |
