What you can do to fight bias in the media
I just finished reading the book “ Bias—A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News ,” written by former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg and published about five years ago. It hit No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. So do I think the media slant the news? I thought they did long before Goldberg’s book. I’m a conservative who has worked in newspaper newsrooms for 22 years and much of what I saw and heard about media bias falls in line with what Goldberg has written—only it wasn’t as blatant. People who refuse to recognize media bias probably won’t bother reading this book. As for the rest of you, here are eight ways to fight back. This list, by the way, is as effective for Democrats, liberals and others who think the media slant the news to the right. Complain to the media brass at offending TV stations, magazines and newspapers and go as high up the ladder as you can.
