Free Republic

I grew up in a blue-collar family in a working class neighborhood (the South Bronx) where just about everybody (if not literally everybody) voted Democratic. In college, I was a liberal – and proud of it. The big issue was civil rights and liberals were on the right side of that one while conservatives – yes, mostly Democrats from the South – were on both the wrong side of history and the wrong side of decency. When the issue of women’s rights came along, I was on board with that too. I didn’t think much about taxes, mainly because I...

Dear Moses and Apostle Paul, I’m sure you are aware of the brouhaha here in the USA regarding some statements made by a Christian man named Phil Robertson. In the midst of this controversy, we have had the good fortune to have been enlightened by Bernard “Bernie” Goldberg, noted journalist and author. It’s that new information imparted by Mr. Goldberg that necessitates this letter. Please be advised that it has been determined that the lists of sins that the Holy Spirit wrote through you in Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Corinthians have been decreed by Mr. Goldberg to be the words...

On Monday evening, former CBS News insider Bernie Goldberg appeared on The O’Reilly Factor to blame the tea party for a potential 2016 presidential loss. “As far as the tea partiers are concerned, anybody to the left of Ted Cruz is a RINO,” Goldberg lamented. “But you know what? The real RINOs are the real people in the tea party and on the hard right, because they have made it clear over and over again that their allegiance is not to the Republican party but to their particular brand of conservatism, so they’re the RINOs.”

Tonight on "The O'Reilly Factor", Bernie Goldberg said: “If Republicans don’t put Marco Rubio on the ticket, they need their head examined.” THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS!! Marco knocked it out of the park on CBS "Face the Nation" yesterday and had Bob Schieffer reeling on his heels. Bernie says that Marco Rubio can articulate the GOP's positions to the more non-sophisticated voters, better than anyone. Bill agreed and also said, what I've been saying: The GOP needs Rubio on the Ticket to carry Florida. Whoever wins Florida, IMO, will occupy the White House.

Bernie Goldberg, author of the highly acclaimed and best selling "Bias," knows liberal MSM bias better than anyone because for years he worked among them and witnessed this bias expressed in both how they slanted news and how they selectively ignored or downplayed news that didn't fit into the leftist political platform. In this video he explains why the current blatant and shameless attempt to politicize the recent murders and woundings of people in Arizona is the most "shallow, thoughtless, agenda-driven nonsense" he's yet seen in his long journalistic career. He cites as prime example the Democratic Sheriff (Clarence Dupnik)...

Here is video of Bernie Goldberg on with Bill O'Reilly last night where he used his response to Jon Stewart's attack on him to say that Gov. Sarah Palin's actions have destroyed the illusion that liberals have a corner on "compassion" in America. Goldberg had recently commented that Sarah Palin chose to give birth to her baby, Trig, who is a Downs Syndrome child. Goldberg had said "liberals don't have five kids" and "liberals certainly don't allow that to happen" (having a Down's Syndrome child). I don't know how accurate that statement by Goldberg is. I'm sure there are liberals...

Here is video of Bernie Goldberg saying that if Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan was a "White Male Christian" instead of a Muslim, his religion would be the top story in the mainstream media. But because he is Muslim, most of the mainstream media refuse to even consider that his Islamic beliefs are central to his commit a terrorist act. . . . (VIDEO)

Anyone who saw this tonight has to ask, WTH is he talking about here? Bernie is really bothered by the Foxnews Tea Party coverage and he keeps repeating this rant....The worst performance I've seen from him...

Here is video of Bernie Goldberg talking with Bill O'Reilly about President Obama's five appearances on Sunday Morning Shows yesterday. Goldberg said the White House was boycotting the people who watch the Fox News Channel with their decision to snub Fox News even though he was appearing on all the other networks. Bernie Goldberg said ABC News's George Stephanopoulos did a pretty good job on Obama. O'Reilly pointed out he was the only one who actually questioned Obama on ACORN, even though it is such a hot story. Goldberg pointed out that CBS News' Bob Schieffer is now talking about...

Here is video of Bill O'Reilly tonight talking with Bernie Goldberg about the mainstream media's attacks on anti-ObamaCare protesters who have been showing up at Health Care Town Hall Meetings. They discussed the fact that the media has presented them as being some kind of organized mob, but in the past they have not done the same regarding liberal protesters when they were going after President George W. Bush. Goldberg pointed out the outrage that would have existed if Bush had ever asked people to email him the names of liberals who were against his proposals. How true that is!...

"The Chicago Mafia inside the White House want to keep this crazy controversy going because the longer it goes, the better they chance that they will conflate the crazy right-wing fringe with regular conservatives and regular republicans."

Brian72 has provided us with an excerpt of an interview featured in the March edition of the Limbaugh Letter. Rush interviewed Bernard Golberg about his latest book, "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media." RUSH: I know there is a contempt; Joe the Plumber was one of the most illustrative examples. Here you've got this poor guy who's minding his own business, an Obama rally ends up next to him. So he asks a question. And it was not a question that was pre-approved. It was not...

I wish I could take credit for the revelation, but I can't. You see, the other day my wife (Julie) and I were driving along I-55 between Chicago and the Illinois state capitol in Springfield. With a chuckle during our discussion over Barack Obama's latest trillion dollar spending spree, my wife summed up the new President's economic and social(ism) plan for our country. We had just heard the average American would receive a whopping $13 tax break from Obama's stimulus package. Now mind you, this bit of shocking information came after we learned there was money allocated in the stimulus...

When some people questioned how Obama could have sat in that cesspool of a church for a thousand Sundays, Obama said that anyone who would ask such a rude question was obviously a racist, knowing full well that the MSM, aka the amen corner, could be counted on not only to parrot his words, but to clap hands and shout “Hallelujah!” If some of us began to confuse news stories about Obama with his campaign press releases, it’s because they were interchangeable, although the press releases tended to be more restrained and, usually, better written. When Geraldine Ferraro dared to...

In April of 2007, former CBS News reporter and six-time Emmy Award winner Bernard Goldberg's book, entitled "Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve," was released. The book became an instant bestseller, and although its title was conjured up over a year ago, its premise is becoming increasingly apparent in this year's presidential election. On the Democratic side, in the wake of one of the longest and most vicious primary battles in recent electoral history, Goldberg's argument has seemingly been substantiated. The contest between Hillary...

Today Show: Lauer Surprisingly Respectful to Bernie Goldberg and '100 People Screwing up America' Posted by Mark Finkelstein on August 11, 2005 - 07:33. Has something gotten into the water at The Today Show? Yesterday, as reported here, Katie Couric's thesis was that W's poll numbers on the economy were unfairly low. This morning, Matt Lauer gave surprisingly deferential treatment to Bernie Goldberg and his book, '100 People Who are Screwing Up America,' which focuses on liberals and the cultural elites as the root of our societal ills. Lauer began by asking "who is this book for?" Goldberg: "Anybody who...

Talk about appearing blindfolded before a kangaroo court. Then again, CBS newsman-turned-author Bernard Goldberg might not have recalled before appearing last night on CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" that the host was a lead member of the Clinton/Gore communications team in 1992. "I've been doing this a long, long time, and I have never, ever, ever, never -- I could say never and ever 10 more times -- experienced what I just went through," Mr. Goldberg told Inside the Beltway late yesterday after he taped the show, which is to air tonight, from Miami. "Deutsch disagreed with everything,...

I've made up my mind. I don't like Bernie Goldberg. Matter of fact, I hate him. Who does this man think he is? I've spent the better part of two decades exposing the outrages of the liberal media, and during most of that time, Bernie Goldberg was earning a comfortable living in that very industry. Along the way I'd thought about writing a book about media bias, but before I could do that, Goldberg decided there was a problem with bias and decided to write a book about it, and "Bias" shot to the top of the New York Times...

Hey, I read this in "Bias" by Bernie Goldberg, and it made me laugh... In a letter written to a worker at CBS news, someone wrote: "Dear Jane; I have a problem. I have two brothers, one brother works for a major news company on television, the other was put to death in the electric chair for murder. My mother died from insanity when I was three years old. My sisters are prostitutes, and my father sells narcotics to high school students. Recently I met a girl who was just released from a reformatory where she served time for smothering...
