Talking about someone screwing up Ameica. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
This is just a man who was sick of seeing the slant and the hypocrisy that goes along with it. This is written by a democrat who never voted for Reagan or either Bush. One thing to remember is that this book is not written by a right wing wacko.
That is not entirely true, but it is close. and does a little investigative reporting of his own. While the title of this book may lead you to believe that this book is all about the inside of a newsroom.
I found all of the passages well written and they grabbed my interest. I recommend this to anyone who has even a passing interest in the news and how it is reported to the nation.Thanks Mr.
Goldberg not only shows us why bias is apparent in the network news room he also picks certain topics(homeless, AIDS, man bashing.).
Or visit media websites that are not based in the US or backed by Israel. Please read former US President's book entitled "Peace Not Apartheid". 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. An excellent website is news.bbc.co.uk. The author is a hypocrite, he himself is very biased. I thought this book was excellent till the end.
The death ratio of Palestinians to Israeli's is at least 10 to 1. This is a much more accurate view. The end states how the Palestinians look better in the media than the Israelis and this could not be any further from the truth. There are always 3 parts to a story and yet the media only portrays the Israeli side. I urge people to form their own opinions rather than to listen to others. Having visited Palestine and seeing the conditions they live in has made me realize the medias blatant disregard for human life.
Israel is backed by F16s and and nuclear weapons.
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. Even though most Americans know there is bias in the news media, this book confirms it. If you're looking for a quick, easy & insightful read this is it. I 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.
Mr Goldberg rattles the liberal cage. The liberal mindset seems to be the default political position in the world today, and few ever dare question the core tenets of liberal dogma. There is a liberal bias in the media as there is in big business and in academia as well.
This book was well written, funny, and I couldn't put it down. I don't think this type of commentary was necessary, and it calls into question his motive for writing the book. What can I say.
But that being the case, I still liked this book a lot and recommend it because he is telling the truth. Thank you Mr Goldberg. The author criticizes both the liberal bias and the sensationalism of the media, and he cites many examples to support his claims.
The only criticism I have is that the author made too many nasty comments about Dan Rather.
