Thanks for the heads-up. Watching it now.

Good, I’m glad someone saw it in time to watch.

(I was afraid you were going to tell me it had already been posted – I searched for “Goldberg” before posting, and then afterwards realized “Goldberg” wasn’t even
in MY title)

I put my name in at the library to check out his book "Bias" and I'm #92 on the waiting list with the library only having 6 books in stock! Guess people are more interested in the liberal media than I thought! Yahoo!

This is really interesting; I'm glad I spotted it too.

At that rate, you may as well just buy it. It was sold out everywhere, so I bought it from amazon.com. Just got it last Friday! Yay! After I finish with John Adams, I'm going to start on it.

It is a good read. There is a chapter about "The Biggest Story You Never Saw on TV" that is outstanding.

On CSPAN, Goldberg makes a lot of the points that he states in his book. I recommend Bias as a good read.

The question I was dying to ask Goldberg was, "You say that you chafed at not being able to ask Dan Rather hardball questions. Now you're doing sports journalism. Do you find that you can ask hardball questions of sports celebrities and still expect to obtain future interviews with that celebrity? Do you think you've been put out to pasture?"
