Summary: Bias in the media? No! It can't be! ;)
Review: Mr. Bernard Goldberg has written an excellent book giving a unique insight into the mainstreem American media and their obvious slant to the left.Most interestingly, Mr. Goldberg admits that he is, himself, a liberal. I believe this underscores the point of the book - that the media slants the news in favor of liberal causes and it takes a liberal insider to give legitimaticy to what many so-called right-wingers have said for years. A must read for all of those who have wondered why the mainstream media never seems to come out on the right (meaning unbiased) side of the issues.

Summary: Very good, but could go farer
Review: Although I know the concrete examples shown by the author - the "big three" and their networks, through satellite and cable TV, also reach european homes -, the pattern described is the commonest among western media: in this part of the world, they have become an environment completely ruled by the leftism and the leftists, reflecting and mirroring the left's vision of life, identified as the objective truth itself, a truth that does not tolerate disagreements of any kind. Presently, and the author demonstrates such point with strong evidences, it is obvious that the way news are broadcasted - or printed - are highly distorted under the influence of leftist bias, being no more than political propaganda disguised as objective journalism. ...>...P> In my opinion, the book is very good and only suffers from one major fault: media obviously have owners, so in what name these last ones allow such a concentration of leftists inside the news apparatus? Such reality pretends to serve any purpose? Which one? The author neither asks nor answers; he could go farer...

Summary: Conservative Opinion
Review: Read the book. Althought tainted with a odd liberal strutting, the facts and content of how the media operates are worth the read.

Summary: Now I know why I don't watch the news anymore
Review: The major media news and I parted company sometime back. I got tired of hearing one-sided news items. This book explains why the news is as it is today. Unfortunately, instead of using the information revealed to fix the problem, the networks choose to shoot the messenger. That's a real shame, because I'd really like to be able to tune into the major newscasts and be confident that I'm getting the whole story. As it is, I only tune them in during major happenings, like Desert Storm and 9/11. Even then, it's only a week or so before the bias starts creeping in again. I'm going to recommend this to all my friends, regardless of their political leanings.

Summary: The real truth
Review: The book gets down to the nitty gritty on how the media views the common public...in a very condescending one sided way. Mr. Goldberg has an axe to grind with CBS but the book reaches beyond his own problems with CBS and tells the real truth about the liberal pompous media. A superb book!

Summary: Goldberg is full of anger and bias
Review: I am listening to the book on tape, so I hear the anger in his voice. As other reviewers commented, he seems to be trying to get even with Dan Rather and others. His evidence is weak and he goes off on personal tangents. His idea of the "big story" that doesn't get printed is "working Moms are causing problems for their children." He refered to "unattended children" as ones that were left with step parents and molested by the non-biological parent and somehow this is the fault of the "working Mom."

Summary: Its about time.
Review: A very good book that needed to be written as much for fair play, which the networks seem to lack, and to bring out a poorly hidden truth. The networks are biased.
No network play re this book just goes to show that Mr. Goldberg was RIGHT. Score 1 for Bernie and ZERO for the trio.

Summary: The author has alot of courage, integrity and morals!
Review: The book offered specifics about news stories that were altered by demand of CBS executives to hide or distort the actual truth in the story, because they want to manipulate the way America thinks, often in insidious ways. I felt so used, especially where it came to monetary donations I have made for what I thought was a crisis! Anyone who has any degree of intelligence has known that the media distorts things, but it was drawn out so clearly using specifics, in this book...and it seems the famous anchormen are not fair people but rather ruthless. Watching the news on any station, especially the top 3, or even reading most of the newspapers out there (he talks about them, too)-is just like watching a hollywood movie.. Those journalists actually have to make 30+ phone calls just to find a "minority" expert or witness to interview on their news story, or their story wont get aired! T.V news is a joke, and a waste of time...This book was excellent, and I applaud the author.

Summary: Excellent source of infromation
Review: This man has done his homework. It is uncommon from the left.

Summary: reads like fiction!
Review: Loved the book! Finished it in two nights and was disappointed when it was over. Goldberg confirms what most conservatives have known for decades to be the truth. Finally, someone willing to say the emperor really has no clothes...and not only that, he's fat, ugly and probably has a funny shaped you know what!
