Goldberg to mainstream media--'shut the hell up!'

Fox News analyst and former CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg has a message for the mainstream media concerning their coverage of the Tuscon shooting--'shut the hell up!'

Goldberg made the comment last evening on Bill O'Reilly's show on Fox.

O'Reilly had already castigated the mainstream media for joining in the Leftwing chorus of blaming conservatives for the massacre that killed a Federal judge and wounded a U.S. Congresswoman, among others.

As a nightly guest on The O'Reilly Factor, Goldberg exposes bias inherent in the news reporting of the media. Goldberg had been part of CBS News under former anchor Dan Rather, and subsequently became a whistleblower concerning the behind-the-scenes political agenda of reporters who work for mainstream media outlets such as CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, Newsweek Magazine, and others.

During his segment with O'Reilly last evening Goldberg asserted that mainstream media coverage of the Tuscon shooting was 'the absolute worst I have ever seen in all of my years as a news reporter.'

Of particular concern to Goldberg was the manner in which in one accord the talking heads, the reporters, the pundits, and even the Sheriff of Pima County, Arizona politicized the tragedy, fixing the blame for the massacre not upon the deranged shooter but upon Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and a host of conservative commentators.

Unfortunately, Fox was a party to this lousy coverage. They got sucked in by the nonsense being spewed by MSNBC and CNN. I hope this network isn't turning liberal.

It's all just 'tards at a pep rally until light is shown on the mind control intel agents behind the psy-op cows they send to spark the fire.

The shows will continue until the promoters are curtailed.

Yes, it's deep and hard for the average pedestrian to grock, yet there it is to be seen if you look behind the flashy commercial curtain.

Right up to the point where FOX started being lumped with the rest of those being blamed. Then FOX did an abrupt about-face. Of course, you have to consider the source. When the story broke, Shep Smith was at the helm.

Fox was the first to report a leak they got that the crazy shooter belonged to an white group. They permitted themselves to be patsy’s. MSNBC, NBC et al jumped on the story within an hour quoting Fox. Fox was a total disaster over the weekend.
