"Paul Teetor, an award-winning reporter at Vermont's Gannett-owned Burlington Free Press, is covering a local forum on racism. A young white woman tries to speak and is told by the moderator, a [black] mayoral aide, that only 'people of color' are allowed to speak. Mr. Teetor agrees with the woman that this is 'reverse racism' and says so in his next-day news story. The mayoral aide says he will organize a march on the Free Press if Mr. Teetor isn't instantly fired. He is indeed fired, in a 90-second meeting at which he has no chance to defend himself. . . WOW. Amazing. And outrageous. If that aide had been white and the speaker black, there probably would have been a riot.

I'm ashamed to say that I have not yet read any of the three books out there on bias in the news. I found this encouraging: "His book, much more deeply researched than Bernard Goldberg's Bias (Regnery)..." I had decided I didn't want to read "Bias" but I still have the one by the Post brass on my list. I checked out this McGowan's and was a bit put off by the list on Amazon of other books purchased by its purchasers. I don't want anything to do with what Buchanan lovers read. But it's penciled in on the list.
