Other than the L.A. Times series, none of the "moderates" below so much as mentioned this story or Goldberg’s national expose on CBS News program "Public Eye." Try to find the program in the archives at the CBS site. But then only two men wrote in and they said they couldn’t believe the story. Goldberg must be exaggerating. Even now, though the Fathers Movement is excited over the book it is because of the liberal-conservative element. None so far realizes that Chapter Nine is the most powerful weapon they have been given since Sanford Braver’s also best selling book disproved by the government’s own statistics the defamation of fathers as "deadbeat." Where there is no vision, every opportunity is lost.

New York Times Upset Listing "Bias" As Fastest-Rising Best-Seller In Decade & Total Silence On Book Review

This is dedicated to Bernard Goldberg, former CBS crack investigative reporter. Bias is one of the most important books of our time. If most get their picture of reality from these three priests of the news, much of what they think is true and tell us is simply not. It has nothing to do with political persuasion. If you are waiting for a train and the timetable is inaccurate, you will miss the train, whatever the railroad’s motives or your political beliefs. Trains, like reality, run the same for Republicans and Democrats, right-wing "nuts" or left-wing "zombies."

I am in the midst of cooking up a longer "comic" view of the circus world these three have caused. Take this as my salute to a very brave and self-assured man. The New York Times, their ultimate bible, has nose-dived in accuracy since taken over by the Sulzberger’s New Age generation. Even on simple grammar the newspaper would flunk as a high school sophomore.

I get and want nothing for promoting Goldberg’s book.. In the storms ahead that will test our nation’s ability to get "intelligence" right in order to survive at all, this is my little contribution to urge Americans to broaden their sources of information.. The book can be easily found at Regnery, the publisher’s site or one of the on-line booksellers. I have included a short paragraph from the publisher at the end for those interested in Goldberg’s background.

A fable of the consequences of bias: SURVEY SHOWS ELECTRICITY SHORTAGE WOULD IMPROVE CALIFORNIA IQ AVERGE 10%

A famed national university just released a scientifically validated poll of 25 people that demonstrates irrefutably that a state-wide blackout of four days would raise the intelligence quotient of average Californians by 10% especially if it came close to Election Day. The survey has a built in error factor of 80%. The results were unexpected at best. But, in addition, the survey suggests that the only people who would not benefit would be those with back up generators. The pollsters intend to do further surveys to find out what causes this anomaly

How Bias Is Like Enron Destroying Its Retirees’ Funds

Harry knew horses like no one. Since he didn’t sleep with his favorite horses and since he didn’t take bribes, if you did what Harry did you’d win, too.

Harry decided to join Alcoholic So-What™, sponsored by Bubbleheiser Beer. It didn’t take long for Harry to exhibit the marks a true drunk. He still went to the races and his pals still played his tips. But he kept loosing so they lost, too.

He didn’t mean to mislead them. It’s just that his brain cells receptors were going from lack of nourishment. He was only able to tune into a selected range of the radio spectrum. This limited inside information was what he was passing along as hot tips. And worse still, it wasn’t so much the wrong information, it was stuff he was unaware of.

His pals were betting on horses that died years ago who ran at racetracks that closed down or had never been built.

The day you notice that your old neighbor, the one who forgets to pay his electric bill and has piles of newspapers outside his front door, is more knowledgeable at cocktail parties than you are, you might think about throwing out your television set and canceling your newspaper subscription.

NOTE FROM PUBLISHER Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Bernard Goldberg Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 0895261901 Hardcover - (December, 2001)

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 - helped confirm his suspicions that bias in the national news media is indeed real.
