Goldberg on CBS: Nothing Good to Report

Washington Post ^ | December 3, 2001 | Howard Kurtz

[andrew]

It's not every day that someone likens Dan Rather and CBS News to the Mafia.

Or declares that the don in this case is The Dan, "who wanted me whacked."

Or calls the CBS brass "a bunch of hypocrites" so consumed by liberal bias that they reflexively slant the news.

Rest of story...

Some choice quotes in response! Notice Bob Schieffer at front line of Team Destroy Goldberg.

[Fred Mertz]

Some CBS insiders describe Goldberg as a talented journalist who became increasingly bitter and isolated at the network.

Yes, Goldberg must be bordering on insanity. [/sarcasm]

The piling on begins! This book is going to be juicy.

goldberg becomes old has-been news. white trash will be all that read this book. it will not be at the local library.

Notice Bob Schieffer at front line of Team Destroy Goldberg.

For some reason a picture of old Bob Schieffer would strike me as the perfect dictionary example of a corporate *Yes Man*.

"white trash will be all that read this book. it will not be at the local library."

What a strange thing to write! Do you think that only "White Trash" realize that the networks (and CNN, of course) are staffed by Leftists who are basically ashamed to be Americans?

And what does whether the book will be "available at the local library" have to do with anything? Are you saying that most librarians are Leftists, and will censor what we are allowed to read?

Or do you think that the "white trash" who want to read this book can't afford to BUY a copy??

Or are you just a gibbering idiot?

[Croooow]

"White trash"... that guy must work at CBS.

[Schnucki]

To which Goldberg writes: "Why is it that when journalists write something tough about other people it's called 'news,' but when someone writes something tough about news people like Dan Rather it's called 'intimidation'?"

Stop making sense!

[My Favorite Headache]

Someone pull out the transcript when Goldberg was on C-Span's Washington Journal this past summer...OMG....you will have a laugh or 3,000.

[KC_Conspirator]

This book will be on the New York Times best seller list, probably top ten by X-MAS. Read it and weep lying liberal.

[ICU812]

It looks like CBS is reading from the Clinton administration's "nuts and sluts" demonization playbook.

It's not every day that someone likens Dan Rather and CBS News to the Mafia.

On FR its more like every hour :-)

FLASH NEWS! GOLDBERG IS A LIBERAL AND HARDLY A SUPPORTER OF WHITE TRASH!

Well, your fantasy world about white trash images forming in your mind is going to crumble, so what you gonna do now that it is not the case? Join a terror group to impose your fantasies about white trash?

Typical: liberals rebel against extreme liberals, and extreme liberals claim it to be a vast right wing conspiracy. Ah! What a rat infested nest.
