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, and that is just fine," said Mr. Goldberg, the best-selling author of "Bias" who has written the new book "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken is No. 37)." "But then, unbeknownst to me, they brought on a panel of five, plus Donny, all of whom took the other side. And it's not like they just respectfully disagreed; there was name-calling, ganging up; it was unbelievable. And not one of them even read the book. They admitted it. "It was more than an ambush," he said. "It was the most cynical, dishonest thing I have ever been lassoed into. They misled me." Immediately after the taping, Mr. Goldberg said, he told the show's producer, Marilyn Cutler, that Mr. Deutsch had been "dishonest." "I told her that she should be ashamed," he said. "A short time later, she called back, crying like a baby. She said, 'I am resigning.' And I told her, 'You should resign.' It was one big setup. And they used her to get me into it. They wanted to kick my [expletive] on national television -- six people, all basically calling me an idiot."

FYI..O'Reilly is going to have Goldberg on his show tonight to talk about this, and show clips from the show....
The Left is a gang of thugs.
Hannity should have him on to talk about this experience... Outing the liberal media is newsworthy, in my opinion.
Should have called it "106 People Who Are Screwing Up America"
Donny Deutschland Uber Alles?
Thanks for the heads up, I'll tune in for this.
O'Reilly will be giving this stupid show publicity, but who cares? It's always great to exhibit the lefties' supposed intellectual honesty--yeah, six-on-one, you libbies sure showed your superiority.
I hate to say this, but Hannity, on many occasions, bullies and shouts down his "liberal" guests, not letting them get in a word in edgewise, especially if Sean is losing the argument.
That's more than actually watch the show.
Us bookaholics will say ANYTHING as an excuse to buy more... ;)
Donny Deutsch is a big time liberal, he admitted it on his show. I knew there was a reason I didn't like that show.
Dozens were tuned in to see this debacle..
Yeah, but this seems like a set up.
Has anyone read the book? It seems like it would be a funny and interesting book.
Wow. I watch the Apprentice and I don't recall Donny Deutsch.
Donny's show averages 44k viewers per show.
Who? Doni Dutch? THat's not a girls name? I don't watch the apprentice. That's not real business, Trump's not a real businessman (con man maybe) and anything he has to teach is not something I want to learn.
