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

I am wondering exactly why I should pay money for a book that spells out what I already know.

Why would I want to pay $20.00 for information I've known for years?

If the book sells well - Will it encourage others to follow suit?? Yeah, we know the media bias, but this book has got to have some great insider info.

To reward the guy for telling to people who haven't know and/or don't believe. Some never will, but some may be converted.

If you don't want to read it you could buy it and donate to a local library.

Goldberg is a traitor to what? certainly not journalism. He is a traitor to the charlatans who pose as jounalists....

I just wonder how many times the words "Jew Bastard!" have bounced around the sacred liberal halls of the Columbia Broadcasting System this afternoon!

You think Hillary is there?

Happy to see that worms aren't loyal, but we already knew this. Rush told us over 12 years ago!

I wouldn't call Goldberg a worm. He did a segment, or soemthing awhile back that clearly showed he was the least biased of anything out of CBS, and most other networks ('cept FNC). Can't remember what it was, but I thought at the time, we needed more of him. I will buy the book.

Big deal. Most of us already know how corrupt and elitist the media is.

Bill Press(titute) was on O'Reilly the other night and implied that the reason FoxNews is so successful is because it attracts a huge, untapped pool of intolerant people - implying that CNN attracts only the tolerant (presumably, the BlueZone voter). Can you get anymore elitist and condescending? What a pr**k!

If ever there was an example of liberal bias in the "mainstream" media, this is it. CBS' "60 Minutes" program and its host, Mike Wallace, engaged in dishonest tactics and the spreading of misinformation in what can only be regarded as efforts to remain faithful to the Clinton point of view.

While one bad apple shouldn't tarnish the entire news industry, this is but one of many examples of major news networks doing the bidding of the Clinton White House. It's hard not to be cynical that the entire "mainstream" media is hopelessly liberal, non-objective, biased, and corrupt.

CBS and Mike Wallace should be ashamed of themselves and the unprofessional shenanigans they resorted to in order to distort reality to conform to their pre-determined conclusions. Since watching this video, I have refused to watch anything on CBS. And I have lost any respect I might have had for Mike Wallace.

The rest @ http://www.conservativebeacon.com/60_minutes_deception.html.

E.D. Donnehey (the "fox" in Fox & Friends) once mentioned that during the 1992 presidential election, a news editor at the company she worked for at the time gathered the staff around and lectured them about how they had a duty to get Bill Clinton elected.

If this book opens the door wide others will proably follow, people with axes to grind, people about to retire anyways etc... but I don't want to enrich them.

The media? Biased? Hunh. What do you know?

Next thing, they'll be telling us that Clinton was less than pure, and less than honest, and should have been removed from office.
