A typical interview regarding this book:

Sam: You're Biased(tm)!
Mo: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Sam: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Mo: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Sam: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Mo: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Sam: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Mo: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
Sam: Am Not! You're Biased(tm)
[repeat 50 or so times]

Enough.

Before this makes a ton of sense I gotta find the Frank Rich article, anyone have it or should I just waste time on google?

[Dog Gone]

He's absolutely right about the network news shows. They are increasingly irrelevant, and their future is bleak. The bias that permeates the network news will never go away, but it may not matter if nobody watches them.

[KC Burke]

Bump for courage.

Oh go ahead, it's not like you(or I for that matter) have a life. :-)

I saw Mr. Goldberg speak in Miami last weak to a capacity crowd of mostly symphathetic readers. I was a bit PO's that there weren't any angry liberals in the audience though.

[Publius6961]

A tempest in a teapot.
No one who is informed can be indoctrinated.

The Talking Heads deliver opinion, and not very informed at that; I haven't wasted my time there for years.
Those who watch the big 3 networks are no worse off than if they didn't. They get to vote no matter how ignorant or ill-informed they are.
Until that is "fixed", what does it matter?

[RAT Patrol]

Courage? Yes. But the best quality he has is honesty. The man is just flat honest.

in the most embarrassing interview in recent times

Actually, my vote for most embarrassing interview, as well as for blatant mismatch between the intellectual abilities of interviewer and interviewed, has to be Deborah Norville interviewing Margaret Thatcher.

It would have been high comedy, were it not so embarrassing...

[FlyVet]

CF: Stossel’s success raises the possibility that the networks could change their spots altogether. If we got into a new paradigm whereby they realized the real market is this new set of ideas.

The concept of limited government is now a "new idea."

[LouD]

A long time ago, when she was on GMA. It was painful to watch...

[tomkat]

BG: Because he’s friends with Dan Rather and he’s friends with Bob Schiefer and he has these other people on. You see, Don Imus is really the anti-Imus. Don Imus presents himself as the tough guy who takes no prisoners. But he’s a pansy. He’s a semi-senile pansy. And what I mean by pansy is…because he’s got these friends who come on, almost every one of them who kisses ass shamelessly on the air, he’s going to take off after me to show them what a good guy he is.

exactly right.

and then he'll bring on an insect like Lieberman and i simply want to hurl.

The concept of limited government is now a "new idea."

For those with their heads up their butts, yes!

[lodwick]

Good find. Thanks. bttt

[Diago]

This is a great interview.

Good interview. The reason his book is such a hit is because it is so true.
