Title: slap-dash effort
Product review: Bernard Goldberg's theme is a good one. I'd hoped for support of that theme with heavy use of anecdotal evidence. Some of that is here. Otherwise, its a whine about Dan Rather's cold-shoulder after Goldberg's original op-ed piece in the WSJ. His writing is often exclamatory which strengthened the feeling that he was throwing in emotion to back up weak points. There are often surprising leaps from disconnected premises to, what he would have us believe, are obvious conclusions.The book was not a total waste of time. I believe the idea that our news should be digested while keeping in mind its distribution through mainly liberal filters is important. Mr. Goldberg does present a few anecdotes which demonstrate this in the book but the problem is that there are as many weak ones presented with as much emphasis.I also didn't like the amount of time spent personally vindicating himself. It made me question his motives and his own bias.
