Bernard Goldberg

Overview

Bernard Goldberg is a former CBS NEWS correspondent, eight time Emmy-winner, and American journalist, who was among the first of that profession to validate the term:liberal media since used by many conservative sources. Goldberg claims that after taking this position his friend Dan Rather never spoke to him again.

Goldberg politically is a moderate and says of the current politics of the US that:

"I don't think it's been this split since the civil war."

Despite that view he refuses to come to any great general opinion of why:

"Rather than defining liberal and conservative, I would say that if I came up with most of the big social issues our time, let's say abortion, let's say you're for abortion, let's say you're for gay marriage... there's a real good chance you're a liberal and not a conservative..."

Bibliography

Bernie Goldberg has written a few best-sellers.

Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News (2001)

This was a New York Times bestseller.

Arrogance: Rescuing America From the Media Elite (November 2003)

This one was merely a "national bestseller".

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: (and Al Franken Is #37) (July 2005)

This book, published by media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.-subsidiary Harper Collins, tries to address what's wrong with civil discourse by marching through a list of -- as Goldberg believes anyway -- progressively more-destructive individuals, culminating with Michael Moore.

His comeplete list is excerpted below as an outline for discussion:

52. Markos Moulitsas (worse than Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Savage, but not quite as bad as Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay or Congressman Robert Byrd)
