Take Advantage Of A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story Of The Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama And The Mainstream Media Crafted By Bernard Goldberg File Format Digital Format

off, agreed there is generally a liberal bias in the mainstream press,

I read "The Obama Hate Machine" by Bill Press a couple of months ago, and found it to be eye opening, in a negative way, how certain elements of the press are manipulated by a relatively small segment theof the population.
Also, the history of acrimony at the highest levels of politics all the way back to the first presidency was very interesting stuff.
The Obama Hate Machine was serious, well written and thoroughly researched, Press's presented a detailed and comprehensive examination of the systematic degradation of Prez Obama and everything about him by Fox "noise" Faux News and the conservative talk radio circuit, AND the supporting momentum behind them

when i saw this book, i had to read the other point of view

but this one, "slobbering love affair" was amateurish goldberg is a journalist and boring.
i got the point afterchapters, it read like a teenager's diary, sarcastic at turns, then sounding like a petulant toddler, when he calls rush limbaugh a "friend" twice, i think you realize how extreme he is,

and calling liberals "paranoid and without a sense of humor" LOL!, . . Mr. Goldberg, look up the word "projection" in a psychology textbook,

yes, MSNBC is unabashedly liberal leaning,

but by not acknowledging that FOX News is an angry, selfrighteous rightwing mouthpiece, who twists facts to suit them, and that CNN is usually somewhere in between Fox and MSNBC, Mr.
goldberg is as willfully blind and obviously biased himself, as he seems to think that anyone who disagrees with him is.
Bernard Goldberg is a former CBS reporter who infuriated his bosses by going public with what he considered to be a hatchet job on thenGOP presidential candidate Steve Forbes and his flat tax proposal.


Goldberg has since parlayed his excommunication from the mainstream media into a regular gig on Fox News, a series of books, and frequent appearances on popular talk radio programs, including Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.


His latest book is a slim effort, a quick read, and doesn't really cover any new ground for anyone who followed the campaign and isn't an Obamatron.


Also Goldberg thinks he's funny, and he isn't,

But it's worth reading for the main point: Goldberg says that while a consistent liberal bias in the media isn't new, it's certainly become overt.


But he believes there is no organized conspiracy,

Rather, he thinks it's a question of groupthink, Reporters and executives believe that their left of center beliefs are in fact centrist, so anything to the right is "conservative" or "fascist" when they are feeling their oats.
Anything to the left is "progressive, "

His argument is plainly stated when he's not trying to be amusing and his list ofquestions that should have been asked of candidate Obama is spot on.


Check it out, Goldberg created the perfect title to sum up the truly pathetic mainstream media, I enjoyed his witty description of "journalists", In this book you will reflect on how ridiculous the great 'Saint Barack' was dazzled up to be through bad journalism for the sake of Liberal snakes amp the hype of his supposed JFK/Lincolnesque appeal.
Regardless of his past affiliations Ayers amp Rev, Wright, no one knows who this guy really is, and they the leftwingers obviously don't care, All I have to say is thank goodness for the new media internet and cable news specifically FoxNews, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It's a short book packed with great insight that will have you growling like a dog, snarling through your teeth and drooling onto the pages with disgust! This book is a classic rant.
The author needs a cluehe wonders why Oprah didn't interview Sarah Palin during the last elections, The tragedy is that people would believe this dude, While the sideshow stunts of the extremes may be entertaining, books of this nature detract from the steadyeddie business of running the world The title may antagonize.
. . but the substance is there, March,

Yes, the title is an antagonistic teaser, . . and it probably has been the main reason for people to pan this book without even reading a single page.
This is a sad fact, because Bernard Goldberg is relevant, honest and is skilled at writing in a commonsense manner that most everyone can appreciate.
. . whether you agree with his position or not, Golberg also provides plenty of legitimate sources to back claims and maintains a levelheaded approach to his opinions, This is the manner Golberg has written in all of his previous works, . . "A Slobbering Love Affair "

is no exception.

What first must be pointed out is that this book is not an antiObama book, . . and you'd have to read more than the title to figure that out, The book is about Goldberg's disgust in how mainstream media outlets have all but abandoned their principles of integrity and neutrality when presenting information to the public.
Goldberg feels that the coverage of the past presidential campaign resulted in the media making "Faustianlike" deal in favorable coverage for Obama that may be disastrous for the media and us down the road.


"A Slobbering Love Affair, . . " isn't groundbreaking and it isn't an expose, . . it is simply a gathering of evidence that supports Goldberg's belief that the media has sacrificed its integrity for the gain of power.
The power gained is the ability to get the American public to vote for "their" candidate by ignoring or downplaying relevant issues Reverend Wright/William Ayers, displaying unabashed adulation toward their candidate and making ridiculous proclamations all along the way "the most intelligent man ever elected" and the comparison to Lincoln.
. . even before being inaugurated. On the other hand, the media displayed no shame in displaying its effort to destroy the "opposition" McCain with an overwhelming majority of negative coverage, playground level namecalling "ogre" and "troll" and even the fabrication of harmful stories McCain/lobbyist affair.
Goldberg leaves no stone unturned in the quest to document his position, . . in fact, most all of the sources are readily available on the internet and archived eternally on YouTube,

Where the book becomes relevant is when Golberg thoughtfully asks himself of the consequences associated with such media power.
In other words, they've sold their soul by pledging their allegiance to a virtually unknown man, got him elected to the most powerful position they could and now must stick with him, regardless of where he takes the nation good or bad.
What if he doesn't live up to the grand hype and the country sinks into despair or unrest How will that be reported.
. . or, more importantly, will it be reported The bottom line is what price will be paid for the power the media has gained I think these are fair questions to ask.
. . and Goldberg, being a former CBS man and democrat as well is in the perfect position to ask these salient questions.
So far I am loving this book, It says everything I wanted to say during the election but didn't for three reasons, the first being that most of my friends already knew, second, those that didn't wouldn't listen and third I am nowhere near as well spoken as Goldberg.
Plus my immediate family, including my mother and brother are far left and I hate political arguments that end in excruciatingly awkward silence over dinner.
I do disagree with Goldberg on one point though, He believes that Obama, the liberal media and their followers will suffer for having deified Barrack Obama, I think that their success will only further their resolve to do it again and again,

What saddens me is that the ones who already know all this are the only ones reading this book.
I'm afraid that judging this book as terrible will only cause others to guess my politics, Goldberg makes numerous editorial errors one 'loses' an election, one does not 'loose' it, surprising given the author credentials listed on the flap.
Goldberg often contradicts himself, sometimes on the very next page, He waits until Chapterout ofbefore admitting G, W. Bush's reputation MIGHT have impacted the election outcome, At first I assumed the title was an attentiongetter, but now I think it's intended to ensure that only the target audience picks this book up.
New York Times bestselling author Bernard Goldberg argues that the leftleaning mainstream media crossed the line during thepresidential election campaign and helped to determine the outcome.
A fitting eulogy for the death of what the Founder's intended and envisioned when they created freedom of the press.
Gone are the days of relying on the media to keep the government in check, An amazing book that can't be written off as some conservative's piece of opinionated fodder, mainly because he has actual research conducted by nonprofit and independent organizations of journalism and others that produce shocking results.
Obviously some opinion is interjected, and yeah liberals may take insult at some of the jabs, but I dare any of them to refute the obvious evidence and admit that, even though the media pulls for their guy, they still aren't somewhat nervous that journalism has become not just ineffective but truly dangerous.


I would encourage everyone to read this, mainly because it's such an eyeopening yet quick read, I started it and finished it the same day, in just a few short hours, .
