Bernie Goldberg cries about the big meanies at CNBC
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 02:11 PM by anti_shrub
From IMDB.com:


Former CBS newsman Bernard Goldberg, who in two books has accused the major broadcast networks of liberal bias, has claimed that producers of CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch stacked a panel that questioned him about his latest book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken is No. 37). Goldberg told the "Inside the Beltway" column of the Washington Times: "I've been doing this a long, long time, and I have never, ever, ever, never -- I could say never and ever 10 more times -- experienced what I just went through. ... It was the most cynical, dishonest thing I have ever been lassoed into. They misled me. ... They wanted to kick my ass on national television -- six people, all basically calling me an idiot."


Someone call the Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance for Bernie. How dare anyone call his book the piece of bullshit it is.

*edit* doh, wrong network in title

16. But there weren't six pundits
Bernie is like someone who gets beaten up in the alleyway and then has to come up with a tale about 12 guys, all 6'5" and 250 lbs. pounding on him when it was really one 5'8" guy.

There were only four pundits and a host. And, if you read Jeff Jarvis, you'll get the truth instead of Bernie's buffoonery.

3. Buddy,
I could go on TV, and people could throw my ideas back at me, but I wouldn't look like an idiot because...I'm not. When I say something, and
if I ever wrote a book, I can back up my words and actions. You can't.

it's like asking, "Does this fat make me look fat?".

23. My fundie friend has alerted me to Bernie
being on The Factor twice in the last week. I checked out both segments and they were absolutely hilarious. Both "men" were trying to out complain eachother and blame the "lib'rul" elites.

Jon Stewart tore Bernie a new one and I can't wait for Jon to interview Santorum monday.

13. "You can fool some of the people some of the time..........."
Bernie has used up his time.....and now those who didn't know who he was before yet parroted his comments, are now fully aware of the opportunist that he is.

10. He should have been ready
Jon Stewart called him an idiot last week on TDS. Laughed in his face. But maybe ole Bernie baby thought that he would be treated with respect for his shit on msm. Jon laughed in his face when he listed Streisand as #91. What a dickhead.

20. what did he say in response to the Carter question?
I didn't see the program. I've heard Carter is #6 in the book???? What does he say Carter is doing to screw america?

And, Bernie, when you throw down the gauntlet, you gotta expect someone to pick it up.

What a creep.

29. The Snake Oil Salesmen gave up too. Try writing a book that doesn't
pander to a smaller and smaller group of people who don't read books anyway. I saw him on Jon Stewart. He said that Jon was at least nice.

I think the press has had it with being debased by the stories they have to report on "as culturally central" as opposed to news.

If someone had played himself long enough - and diminished his career - he would be mad too. Hey! Wait a second... why isn't goldenboy mad at the culture that made him drink kool-aid and publish crap?

32. Would that be the same interview in which Goldberg told a woman
to "shut-up" so he could educate everyone one civility?

He's an idiot.
