Bernard Goldberg weighs in:

Goldberg: <font size=4>'They Wanted the Story to Be True.'

Bernard Goldberg, the former CBS correspondent who in many ways ignited the current debate over bias in the media has now weighed in on the 60 Minutes document controversy, calling it the <font color=green>"almost inevitable"<font color=black> product of liberal media groupthink.
<font color=green>
"Assuming that at least some of the documents are indeed forgeries as they now seem,"<font color=black> Goldberg says in an email to RatherBiased.com, <font color=green>"This is what happens when a news organziation operates in a bubble--a comfy liberal elite bubble. They WANTED the story to be true, so they apparently minimized or ignored any information that contradicted their pre-conceived notions.

"This is the nature of bias in the news. no conspiracies. Rather never said, 'I know these documents are phoney, but I'll go with them anyway.' He would never do that. The problem is too much like-mindedness, too much groupthink. What happened was almost invevitable. Sooner or later, when you live in the bubble, something bad will happen.

"Let me add that Dan Rather was my friend yesterday, he's my friend today, and he'll be my friend tomorrow."
