CBS NEWS VETERAN CALLED 'TRAITOR'; WRITES BOOK EXPOSING ELITE BIAS **World Exclusive** In the first defection of its kind, a 28-year veteran of CBS NEWS has written a tell-all book which names names and exposes elite media bias and slated coverage of events. The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained the first copy of BIAS, A CBS INSIDER EXPOSES HOW THE MEDIA DISTORT THE NEWS -- an explosive new work by CBS NEWS veteran Bernard Goldberg. The book set for release in January, presents an unprecedented blueprint of media bias as documented by an insider. "Bernie Goldberg is a G-ddamn traitor," a CBS NEWS executive said late Friday. "The book is trash written by a bitter man who is now determined to settle a score." Writing that he's never voted for a Republican for elected office, Goldberg exposes the bias he witnessed first hand during the nearly three decades he spent at the network. Goldberg zeros in on CBS NEWS anchor Dan Rather and current CBS NEWS President Andrew Heyward, who is quoted as saying: "Look Bernie, of course there's a liberal bias in the news. All the networks tilt left." MORE

This guy is just unhappy with his retirement package. He knows the book-buying public preference is conservative and he is just tapping into that money pool for his retirement.

>"Aren't these the same people praising David Brock for changing his stripes after he had seen the inside of the other camp and wrote a book about it, except many of the things he said weren't true."

Brock worked for the likes of The American Spectator which NO ONE, including themselves, mistake for a "balanced news service." Liberal just don't get it. They call and harang righty talk-show hosts about being as slanted as the media as the criticize. BUT THEY'RE PAID TO BE COMMENTATORS, FOLKS - NOT a news program!

NPR, CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC (Stossel excluded) - THE GLOVE IS THROWN!!!!!

Of course not - most everyone already knows about the media bias. The only interest here is that the author is a traitor to his liberal camp employer. I contend that his motives were not an enlightened viewpoint but mearly greed.

Yeah, the market would be ripe for such content. Rush very acutely pointed out that to be called a "traitor" negates one also being a "liar."
