CBS insider Bernard Goldberg wrote the definitive book on liberal bias in the media, simply entitled Bias.
- He asserts that an "inability to see liberal views as liberal viwes ... is at the heart of the entire problem."
- He wrote: "Pauline Kael, for years the brilliant film critic at the New Yorker, was completely baffled about how Richard Nixon could have beaten George McGovern in 1972: 'Nobody I know voted for Nixon.' Never mind that Nixon carried 49 states. She wasn't kidding."[2]
He also suggested that liberals don't even see their liberal values as "liberal":
- "Their views on all the big social issues ... aren't liberal views at all. They're simply reasonable views, shared by all the reasonable people the media elites mingle with ..."[3]
