The biggest story emphasized in Goldberg's "Bias" is the cover-up by the news media of the ill effects of working mothers. Most reporters are either such, or would be demonized for pointing out how many of their colleagues are putting their carreers ahead of their children's interests.
This closely parallels the Hollywood glorification of single Moms.

Exactly. THe major media view fathers as superfluous; because they view most men as nothing more than potential rapists or beaters, it naturally follows that the same people would believe the ideal home is one only of a mother. The funny part of TV single moms is that as soon as the kid is born you rarely see them again-- as if once the birth occurs, a parent simply returns to their life as if nothign happened.
