Title: A Real Sleeper
Product review: I heard a lot about this book, so I checked it out of the library to find out what people were talking about. It takes pages and pages of flabby prose for Goldberg to get to the heart of his argument, which is largely anecdotal and mostly unverifiable. Goldberg tells us breathlessly that an unnamed person agrees with him in a two-person meeting that there is "liberal" bias in the news. Maybe it happened, but why should anyone believe it? Let's see some proof. Right-leaning reviewers love this book because it bashes "liberals," while left-leaning reviewers dismiss it as exhibiting right-wing bias. A book so devoid of verifiable facts is probably open to this wide range of interpretation. Most readers will find their own prejudices strengthened by Goldberg's vague indictment. This insider's look at CBS News will intrigue readers of People magazine. However, if you are looking for a good read, this isn't it. Goldberg's book is self-indulgent and poorly written.
