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

Reward him for being a liar for 30 years, no thanks he can take his book and you know what.

[Mamzelle]

Cool! When's it available?

[kayak]

How interesting that he called Goldberg a traitor .... but not a liar.

[LarryLied]

Bet right now O'Reilly is dialing his fingers off trying to get Bernard Goldberg on his show.

Look, anybody with a speck of gray matter in their head, and is ojective, knows that except perhaps for FOX NEWS CHANNEL, the media is obscenely biase to the left, particularly with corrupt leftist pols. But it is very nice indeed to hear one of their own expose those RATs in the media.

Hmmm...have any inside info here? Is character assassination the tactic CBS had decided upon?

[Tex-Con-Man]

I noticed he called him a "traitor", but not a liar...

[Fraulein]

Perhaps I'll buy this book for one of my (liberal) professors at school. Believe it or not, he seems to be convinced that the media has a right-wing bias....

[mxbluto]

good news!! I was hoping this would happen.

The doctrine of omerta has served the Big Media as well as it has served the Sicilian Mafia. Nobody talks, nobody leaves, Cosa Nostra will protect us all.

[pollwatcher]

Anyone to the right of Stalin is too right-wing for many professors.

Trivia...here.

We now have three threads going on this....shall we try for four?

Yeah! Let's shout from the rooftops!

[Hank Rearden]

We REALLY needed the whole Amazon page here!

Yeah, that's for sure. < /sarcasm > Especially when you can usually find books/DVDs/CDs for less on BN.com, half.com, borders.com, DVDExpress.com etc. BN.com will ship two or more items for free, and sometimes beats half.com for prices while always being the same or less than Amazon.

I haven't ordered from Amazon.com in over two years (mostly because they sales-tax me, but also because their prices are NEVER the lowest), yet the world seems to think it's the only place to purchase products online.

Shop around, folks! You can beat Amazon pricing in less than 60 seconds by looking at a couple of alternatives.

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

If this expose' makes the guy money, it'll encourage others to expose the network's dirty secrets. Just think of it as a political contribution against liberalism.

[Tall_Texan]

Too bad the book is already out. Of course, if it goes to paperback, they can redo the back cover to include those little blurbs of endorsement:

"That traitor!" - unnamed CBS News exec.

"...the most disgusting thing I've ever read in my entire life." - Walter Cronkite, former CBS News anchor.

"I have great respect for the talents of Mr. Goldberg but his career is now as dead as week-old chili mac." - Dan Rather, CBS News anchor.

"F-cking J-w B-stard!" - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY).

"Lies. All lies." - Howard Kurtz, Washington Post.

No doubt a best-seller in the making...

GMTA ..... see my #43 ..... :-)

[meridia]

No kidding! Thanks for your comment -- Amazon must be in dire straights to be advertising in such an egregiously offensive manner.

I'll make a point of NOT ordering that book, nor any other, from anyone in Seattle, much less from Jeff BOZOS. LOL!
