  Bozell's News Column -- 12/06/2001 -- Courageous Bernard Goldberg
Goldberg really calls Gunga Dan Rather on the carpet, telling about his super-expensive British-tailored suits and other fancy tastes and his needs for a cast of toadies, including a CBS vice president whose only job was to keep Dan happy.
Goldberg tells how, when he proposed doing a news story on allegations of liberal bias, CBS News president Andrew Heyward said there was no news in that concept because all the networks tilt to the left but if Goldberg ever repeated that in public, he'd deny it.
Goldberg once asked Susan Zirinsky, then CBS senior producer in Washington, how many times she went to conservative women's groups for on-camera reactions either to Supreme Court decisions or votes in Congress on women's issues.

 Chicago Media Watch
Bernard Goldberg's new book Bias is a familiar attack on the "liberal" media, which is why it leaped onto the bestseller lists, aided by bulk sales to conservatives.
As a former CBS newsman, Goldberg's complaints about liberal bias are given credibility despite the appalling lack of evidence for his grand assertions of left-wing control of the news.
Although Goldberg whines that he had trouble finding anyone at CBS willing to work with a reporter who was attacking his colleagues, a liberal reporter who complained about conservative bias would have been fired.

 Bernard Goldberg on 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America on NRO
Bernard Goldberg, the former CBS newsman who's told the brutal truth in Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News and Arrogance: Rescuing America From the Media Elite, has a new book out in the same tradition — 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: (and Al Franken Is #37).
Goldberg: Harshbarger was a prosecutor in Massachusetts who put three members of a family in prison for a long, long time for supposedly molesting little kids at their day care center.
Goldberg: If Republicans have their way, he will keep talking and alienating more and more ordinary Americans who are not political junkies, but who are sick and tired of the anger and meanness in our culture — which, by the way, is what this book is basically about.

 TAP: Vol 13, Iss. 8. Media: Label Whores. Geoffrey Nunberg.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
There's no better example of this than Bernard Goldberg's claim, in his bestseller Bias, that TV broadcasters "pointedly identify conservative politicians as conservatives" but rarely use the word "liberal" to describe liberals.
Goldberg claims that former Circuit Judge Robert Bork is always called a conservative whereas Laurence Tribe is identified merely as a Harvard law professor.
In this sense, the disparities in labeling are chiefly a tribute to the success that critics like Goldberg have had in popularizing their picture of the media -- and by the by, to the extraordinary attention that the media have given to views like Goldberg's in the first place.

 Collected Miscellany - Arrogance by Bernard Goldberg
Bernard Goldberg has become famous for tackling an issue that is familiar to most residents of, and visitors to, The Blogosphere: the bias and arrogance of the media elite.
Goldberg was excluded from any major network news program and ignored even by the morning talk shows (with the exception of a brief and hostile slot with Katie Couric).
Goldberg himself offers a 12-step program with steps like: “Don’t stack the deck,” “Tell the whole story,” and “Expand your rolodex.” In fact, he includes the contact information for a variety of conservative and independent think tanks and interest groups that could provide a different perspective on important cultural and political issues.

Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at "ordinary" Americans).
Goldberg names names, counting down the villains in his rogues' gallery from 100 all the way to 1-;and, yes, you-know-who is number 37.
But Goldberg will also make you laugh as he harpoons scoundrels like the congresswoman who thinks there aren't enough hurricanes named after fl people, and the environmentalist to the stars who yells at total strangers driving SUVs-;even though she tools around the country in a gas-guzzling private jet.

 Amazon.ca: Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distorts the News: Books: Bernard Goldberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Bernard Goldberg book is a large part opinion, some real issues, others seemingly just a vehicle for him to lay into his old CBS bosses and in particular Dan Rather.
Goldberg does not ever demonstrate consistently news stories being systematically 'liberalised', instead relying on a few selected quotes off-air by various news anchors belittling conservatives, and some larger examples with the one regarding Steve Forbes 'flat tax' inititative repeated several times in the book.
If Goldberg could demonstrate that the media elites supposed liberal bias was allowed to regularly influence and distort news coverage then there would be a big story, but Goldbergs evidence is few and far between for someone who claims to have witnessed this bias for nearly thirty years.

 Bookreporter.com - BIAS by Bernard Goldberg
Goldberg's position and the ultimate premise behind BIAS is that network news has failed in its mission by presenting the liberal position on issues as the baseline, if you will, of reasonableness and that any variation from that position is controversial or a deviation from how things should be.
Goldberg's observation, both at the time he wrote his initial editorial and now, is that differing viewpoints should be presented without disparagingly labeling one and giving the other, more favored, viewpoint a pass.
The meat of BIAS is where Goldberg systematically illustrates how, when dealing with the major issues of our time such as homelessness, the Middle East, racism, AIDS and abortion, the networks have systematically favored one view to the exclusion of the other and have knowingly distorted the facts in order to do so.

Bernard Goldberg is a former news correspondent for CBS and he has won many Emmy awards for his reporting.
Goldberg says it's environment, i.e, "groupthink," the "herd mentality," "peer pressure." Decision-makers in those organizations come from privileged backgrounds, they hear conversations from like-minded colleages and assume their slant on issues are mainstream.

Bernard Goldberg and John Lott, birds of a feather
Goldberg neglects to mention that Bridges’ account is disputed by Ted Besen, who says that the killer put his gun down before Bridges arrived and that there are no witnesses who saw Bridges pointing the gun.
Unlike Goldberg, Montgomery presents both sides of the debate, so Goldberg must be well aware that Besen contradicts Bridges’ account and that reporters did not mention the gun because they did not know about it.

 "Bias" Isn't Supported—Because It's Not True
Goldberg marshals little documentation for his claim that the news is packed with the views of liberal advocacy groups and rarely includes conservative opinions.
The only claim Goldberg makes that has real documentation behind it is about the elite mentality of big-time journalists, but it's a charge that undermines the case for liberal bias.
Here's a reality check for Bernard Goldberg: The mainstream media are no more liberal than the conglomerates that own them or the advertisers that pay their bills.

Bernard doesn’t really have much of a comeback for this, aside from the reasoning that he’s focusing more on the pop culturistas who rap to our kids and use profane language, instead of those who make policy.
Goldberg is taking a very biased view of who is “screwing up” America and trying to pass it off as balanced.
What angered me was that Goldberg was so pro-censorship to artists like him, that he forgets that half a century ago there were arguments that Chuck Berry and Elvis were too sexual and Rock n Roll music was the devil.

Conservatives have made the argument for years, but former CBS broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg claims that the problem is so widespread that he was forced to blow the whistle on his own industry.
Goldberg says that the problem goes much deeper than a simple "Democrats are good, Republicans are bad" mentality; indeed, it is so pervasive that it's considered a matter of course, affecting every decision made by supposedly "impartial" journalists.

Goldberg didn't bother to check how many of those instances of "conservative" and "liberal" were used as labels of American politicians or interest groups, much less to relativize those numbers to the occurrences of the names of each.
Goldberg describes a CBS producer who was concerned with footage from a prison work gang, but the problem is not as Maslin describes it.
