So true. Emile: The problem with most political analysis ... whether on television, radio or newspapers today ... is that only one side ever is presented anymore. There's ALWAYS another side to the story. Perhaps Congress should revisit reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine, but that is unlikely Goldberg the Rightwinger: shopnetdaily.com In 1996, veteran CBS News reporter and producer Bernie Goldberg committed the unpardonable sin of publicly mentioning the issue of liberal bias in the media. For that he became persona non grata at CBS. In his new book, "Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distorts the News," Goldberg tells how friends and colleagues turned on him, from junior CBS reporters all the way to Dan Rather. But much more than that, he exposes a bias so uniform and overwhelming that it permeates every “news” story we hear and read—and so entrenched and deep rooted that the networks themselves don’t even recognize it. Goldberg thought of himself as a typical liberal television news reporter. It was only when a friend called to his attention a particular news story on his own network unduly ridiculing a Republican presidential candidate did he realize the depth of the bias within the national news media. Goldberg wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal calling the offending reporter and his own employer to task. The resulting outcry from reporters and anchors on all three networks—including cold shoulders from co-workers—help to confirm his suspicions that bias in the national news media is indeed real. Goldberg goes beyond the circumstances of his brave op-ed and resulting ouster as member of the establishment news media in good standing. He presents the cold, hard truth about the entire news media and backs it up with cold, hard facts. Goldberg shows: how media bias has twisted the facts of some of the biggest stories of the last two decades; the facts that prove that conservatives and liberals in politics are treated radically different by the news media; how the news is knowingly “manufactured,” why certain key facts are omitted from some news stories if they make a case or a cause seem less compelling; that the news media feels free to heap criticism on just about anyone or anything but is absolutely intolerant of any criticism of its own work; a behind-the-cameras tour to witness scenes of jaw-dropping arrogance and “spin-cycle” journalism
