  - Great Goldberg Investment!This is really a great read about the "mainstream" media and its slanted reporting of the news. I just finished it and am looking forward to reading more from Mr. Goldberg. No wonder I no longer look at ABC, CBS, or NBC news! Long Live Fox News Channel and its fair and honest reporting! Rating:  - He certainly is!!!I guess if you are super far right you might be suckered into buying the prmise of this book but anyone moderate on up won't be fooled by what has been proven since its publication to be pure trash. Goldberg may not be quite the fool Limbaugh or Beck play (neither of course believe the stuff they put on the airwaves) but he ceratinly has hurt America and hurt it badly. His othr book of the 100 People Screwing Up America has been implicated as a catalyst in the murder in the Holocaust Museum Murders. Talking about someone screwing up Ameica. Do your research on this book and you will find that its premise has been disproven by a number of sources and not just liberal. But knowing how the rating system works here those who can't think for themselves will give this review a no vote of helpfulness and others who have actually read it and then checked out his facts will know this review is accurate. So rate the review however you would like but at least make sure you have read the book first--because I'd bet you haven't. Rating: - Terrific Look Inside the "Nwesroom"While the title of this book may lead you to believe that this book is all about the inside of a newsroom. That is not entirely true, but it is close. Mr. Goldberg not only shows us why bias is apparent in the network news room he also picks certain topics(homeless, AIDS, man bashing...) and does a little investigative reporting of his own. I found all of the passages well written and they grabbed my interest. One thing to remember is that this book is not written by a right wing wacko. This is written by a democrat who never voted for Reagan or either Bush. This is just a man who was sick of seeing the slant and the hypocrisy that goes along with it. I recommend this to anyone who has even a passing interest in the news and how it is reported to the nation. Thanks Rating: - HypocriticalI thought this book was excellent till the end. The end states how the Palestinians look better in the media than the Israelis and this could not be any further from the truth. Having visited Palestine and seeing the conditions they live in has made me realize the medias blatant disregard for human life. The death ratio of Palestinians to Israeli's is at least 10 to 1. The media often portrays Israel as the poor helpless victims yet Israel doesn't allow for even water to enter Gaza let alone food or medical supplies. Israel is backed by F16s and and nuclear weapons. The author is a hypocrite, he himself is very biased. There are always 3 parts to a story and yet the media only portrays the Israeli side. Please read former US President's book entitled "Peace Not Apartheid". This is a much more accurate view. Or visit media websites that are not based in the US or backed by Israel. An excellent website is news.bbc.co.uk. I urge people to form their own opinions rather than to listen to others. Rating: - Informative & eye openingI purchased the book for myself, but had to fight off my husband for it at least a couple of times a week. It was an excellent read, quick & to the point. Even though most Americans know there is bias in the news media, this book confirms it. It's daunting when you try to think of a time when media bias would no longer be an issue, or worse yet trying to stop it from occurring at all. If you're looking for a quick, easy & insightful read this is it! |
