Dan chose this book; we both found it interesting. It is the story of the bias of the news, extremely well documented and extremely conservative. the author worked in the news industry for years and quotes many of the high profile news anchors and writers.
Interesting for me is that the zNew York times is the unofficial standard for most of the news stories across the country and world. Je claims that the times gets it's stories on the wire, then all of the other papers in the country dec...more

I listened to this book on tape. I got tired of the sense of "outrage" that the author used throughout the work. After a while, it all began to blur. I suppose the saddest thing about this work is that he is entirely right that the media have biases. And that self-appointed societal critics are the main source of daily news and worldview to a large group of people is a testament to the failure of our educational system to teach people to think critically and read, or listen, to a w...more
Arrogance by Bernard Golberg illustrates how far the national news media has strayed from objective news reporting and the reasons this has and is occuring. Goldberg provides many examples of reporting bias and the groupthink that is occuring in or nation's newsrooms.
I was already aware of the media bias and liberal PC propaganda that is shaping what is presented as news.
I actually think that Goldberg didn't reach the bottom of the well regarding the reason's why this i...more

here's a quote that i liked:
"one of the clearest examples of that disdain--not so subtle in this case--is when evan thomas of newsweek went on a tv news talk show and dismissed paula jones as 'some sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks'--a nasty remark, which would never have been tolerated (by his bosses and other presumably civil people if the prejudice were about race instead of class."
what you do is you substitute different words, pc-wor...more

Recommends it for:
conservatives fed up with the liberal media and the media elites
Bias brings about many good points about the media bias, but ultimately the author ends up coming off as a right wing nutter.
Unconsciously, the author falls prey to many of the flaws that he himself points out in the book. The author is very intelligent and his journalistic skills let you see a wider scope on many issues, but he turns mostly a blind eye to right wing abuses of the media, or casts them off as nothing big. This is a hugely hypocritical book. If only the author had the c...more

5* need I say anymore?
I liked his book "Bias" a lot more because we got more "insider" information. This book didn't really say anything new--it was really commentary that I've seen elsewhere, and though he did some interviews with people, they didn't really reveal anything. It seems that he wrote this because of the success of "Bias," and maybe he felt like he wanted to add to it, but it didn't deepen his argument.
Goldberg gets right to the point and backs it up with numerous evidentiary stories: The mainstream media is hopelessly liberal and so much so that they think only nuts have views differing from their views. We are fed increasingly slanted and biased stories to swing public opinion. It's compelling book done in an ethical and forthright journalistic style.
This book is interesting and not an "easy" read. There are a lot of details and as with most books of this type you need to keep an open mind and don't believe every thing you read.
eye-opening book and shows how pervasive, and subtle, liberal bias is in all types of media. Should be read by every American, as well as his "Bias".
Another fantastic Goldberg book. He is such a great writer, and there is so much to be learned from any of his publishings.
Bias shed light on the tactics, Arrogance exposes their motivation.
Simular to Bias but still worth it. Wow he hates Dan.
