Bernie--we hardly knew you

When I was in High School, the Middle East was as bad a hot spot as it is today. Since all the news about the world was generated to us at 6:oo by the major networks, foreign correspondents were essential into being our eyes to the world. The reporters who were my favorites were Bernard Goldberg, Marvin Kalb and Bob Simon of CBS and Irving R. Levine of NBC. It was because of men like that, I decided to attend Washington State University with dreams of becoming a news correspondent. WSU after all is where Edward R Murrow attended college and there is a building and a department named after him.
I figured them all to be progressive and cool especially Mr Goldberg, mod hair stylish clothes and of course the all important Jewish surname. However such is not the case with Bernard Goldberg. I can deal with the fact he may have voted Republican, or been a Republican, but it gets better. He is crying up a storm about Liberal bias in the media. That is what the right wingers cry every time one of there own makes a mistake. It seems like Goldberg (No relation to my California cousins) is selling this hook, line and sinker. Never mind a handful of Mega Corporations own virtually every TV, radio and newspaper outlet. Goldberg seems to be of the mind that Fox News really is "Fair And Balanced"
Now with all the style and tact of Ann Coulter, Goldberg has a new book"100 people who are Screwing up America" No doubt there are some listed who are too far to the left, but for God's sake Jimmy Carter is on it. Not the best President maybe, but a man with heart and soul who actually showed up at President Bush's inauguration inspite of the fact most Democrats were questioning it's legitimacy. A man who has spent his years after the White House helping the hungry and poor. In Goldberg's eyes, screwing up America is disagreeing with President Bush.
Doesn't Goldberg realize that not being Christian is screwing up America in the eyes of the people he panders to. Maybe Bernie is reborn. I tried to enter his chatroom to get some answers and found it was impossible. So that is the great question mark.
