Bernie Goldberg To O’Reilly: 2012 Obama Media Bias Will Be So Subtle Voters ‘Will Not Even Catch It’

video
» 142 comments

With the 2012 elections fast approaching and the economy in a state of flailing paralysis, Bill O’Reilly took a look tonight at how the media is responding to the Obama Administration’s first tenure. With some in the media arguing that the President has little control over the economy, Bernie Goldberg told the Factor host this came off as yet another example of bias, and one which warned the next wave of pro-Obama fervor in the media would be significantly less feverish.

Goldberg, who wrote a book about the media’s relationship with the 2008 Obama campaign entitled “A Slobbering Love Affair,” did not expect that level of infatuation this time around. “If they slobber all over him this time as much as they did last night, the media and the President will have to get a room.” Unlike Sen. John Kerry or Michael Dukakis, Goldberg argued that President Obama “was a historic figure, and they fell in love with him.”

On comments by David Gregory that the President didn’t have much control over the economy, Goldberg gave Gregory the benefit of the doubt on bias, but told O’Reilly that it still “sounds like here’s another liberal journalist saying ‘don’t blame Barack Obama.’” He did concluded, however, that overt bias was not to be found in the press anymore this election cycle, and it would look much more like Gregory’s statements: “the bias… will be subtle, sometimes the audience will not even catch it.”

Goldberg also discussed the coverage of Muammar Gaddafi‘s death, which he found appropriate, though objected to “gratuitous” visuals of the dictator’s corpse.

    Bernie Goldberg To O’Reilly: 2012 Obama Media Bias Will Be So Subtle Voters ‘Will Not Even Catch It’

    It’s really not subtle at all , Bernie.

    True.  In all fairness, every time Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich, Santorum, or Perry are directly quoted, it shows a liberal bias.

    Oh the media will still slobber ALLLL over Obama…. MSNBC does not seem to care that their obsession with the President is making their network go down the toilet. You think MSNBC execs would change the format when faced with horrible ratings. But then again, Obama cult members Larry and Rachel are the ones at the helm.

    Yes, Bernie…not as blatant anti-Obama bias as that from Faux Noose.

    Obama is not concerned with the economy , the country or the future .
    Obama is wrapped up in Obama . This arrogant, incompetent ,corrupt fool should slink out of Washington and back to Rezko Estates before he is prosecuted . He can stick his jaw out and look down his nose  on the public from far , far away .

    So conservatives are already blaming the election on the media a whole year before the election even happens. This is just sad. Whatever happened to the American people making their own decisions on who to vote for? If Obama wins, they will blame it on the liberal media bias. But if a conservative wins the white house, it will be because of the will of the American people. I will admit that most news channels lean left, but thats mostly because the right wing is so far right now, that there just aren’t enough people who are represented by them in the media. Most Americans can recognize that FOX will completely be in the tank against Obama, & they will try to justify it as being the balance to the horrible liberal media. Every body has to have an excuse….SMH

    Since New York Mag admitting it was writing articles to help with an Obama win to create “history” (the admitted this on CNN)…. I would say it’s just pointing out facts. Most media )left and right) admit now that Obama got the softest press treatment in history for about 2 years. I think the press has gotten more skeptical in the last year… but it’s never going to be equal.

    I mean… you’re never going to see CBS get caught pushing false documents to trash Obama. Your still going to have the hard left working to re-elect Obama (some are literally on his payrole and others just have their husbands/wifes on his pay role). In all fairness some members do quite their MSM jobs to help Obama and come back to the MSM when their job is done.

    I hate to be redundant… but the New York Mag ADMITTED they wanted to “make history”. Palin was a bad choice, and I’m not the biggest fan of McCain. I think the last 3 years have shown us Hillary would have been the best choice of the 3. But the MSM wanted to make history and she got thrown under the bus. Her staff was quoted as saying they now (2008) knew what it was like to be a Republican. Shockingly a half term Senator and community organizer has not turned the worlds biggest economy around. But his foreign policy (what Hillary does) is quite good in my opinion.

    If you disagree that depression wasn’t a prevailing view in 2008, I’m not gonna be able to convince you. The fact is that Wall Street–up until very recently–has been doing rather nicely, most would say.

    And despite the lack of jobs–the economy was massively inflated and has ‘corrected’–few would suggest depression–’double-dip,’ perhaps, but not depression.

    Prolonged ‘stagflation’ is likely, but blaming Obama is a fantasy of the right.

    “Onerous regulations” Ha!

    Look at China and its similar stimulus in 2009 and state-owned industries (YEP-”BIG GOVERNMENT!)

    They seem to be doing OK…right? You folks wanna assign responsibility to Obama when the complexity of the economy and the factors involved undermine your narrative.

    If you had the truth, one of those clowns up on stage every week would just have to say it out loud, right? But we know what happens when they open their collective mouths: NOTHING.

  • Tim Tebow

    I’ve never really seen Olbermann; I don’t have cable and only get to see your Fox News when I’m with my GOP family.

    Poi-fect example of a logical faceplant by RyGuy. In this instance, we see the logical fallacy commonly referred to as “deflection.” To wit, he deflects from the  . . . ahem . . . “gaffe” . . .  by Mr. Goldberg to attach MSNBC, which went to the left IN RESPONSE . . . to the Fox News model of partisanship media. The Founder of this site Mr. Abrahms can attest to that since he ran the show then it was definitely right leaning  . . . (see Donahue debacle).

    Any-whoooo. .  . our dear tea baggin’ poster has “deflected” Goldberg’s admission that you have to look realllllllyyyyyyyyyy hard to find the type of bias found on Fox (most GOP candidates have been or on their payroll you tards).

    But teabaggers are not data driven, they are myopic cyclopi who go to extraordinary lengths to avoid any data that brings their simplistic and primitive worldviews into question.

    And that concludes today’s lesson on Teabaggers, tards and tiaras. G’night

  • Tim Tebow

    I will agree with you that the media is phucked in a lotta ways.

    They try to serve their ‘customers’ too much and most have been tainted by profit and rating motives. Fox and their competitors stake out their respective markets and seek to give them what they want.

    Few even try to achieve objectivity, with the resulting sensationalism and hyperbole in tow.

    No more sober analysis–except for Newshour. The last and the best TV show.

    You’re right, MSNBC did go far left in order to counterweight FOX. But MSNBC’s business model is not nearly as well put together as FOX News’. When MSNBC went far left they became 100% Pro-Obama with no differing viewpoint –  they just shoved liberal thought down the viewers throats. Their commentators are all hardcore liberals that rarely have conservative guests on and when they do the act smug and holier-than-thou.

    FOX has succeeded because they offer a conservative viewpoint (which the media market deserved), but they also allow differing viewpoints and discussion about news stories one may not hear about via other outlets. People like commentary that reinforces their belief, but they like it in a discussion format (FOX) rather than groupthink and talking points spouted back to the viewer (MSNBC).
    I know all you liberals think that FOX News is a propaganda arm … but Murdoch and Ailes, during interviews, almost admit that FOX offers conservative commentary (they say ‘we bring the news to people through a different perspective’). Cable news is a business and FOX built the best business model. The FOX NEWS LIES crowd are a bunch of zombies.

    Do you honestly think there is a politician in Washington that cares about the economy, the country or any of us? If you do you’re much more foolish than any of the other fools I’ve been reading so far. All news is biased to one side or the other. If you want to be truly educated, do your homework. Look back at the candidates voting records. Understand this, the president only has as much control as the congress and senate will allow him to have. The democratic party only had 2 years to try and turn the economy and the American people were so foolish that they gave control back to the republicans before the democrats had a chance to see any of the effects of their initial work. Yet the democrats are the ones that screwed up this country. I don’t claim dem. or rep. but I do know patterns and in this case the pattern went right back to republican control and look where we are at the end of the 3rd year of a presidential administration that never really had a chance to get their agenda off of the ground. Understand they are only going to do as much as they need to do to get votes. Make things look good and people will vote for you. If you can’t make things look good offer the best lip service. Most of our politicians baffle us with bullshit and we fall for it. That’s how they get in to office and that’s how they keep getting re-elected. Here’s a thought. Let’s clean house! Vote ‘em all out. Every last one of ‘em. Put new people in and then hold them accountable for what they do. If they don’t do the job, get rid of ‘em. But the best way to do things right now is get rid of anyone that is a sitting representative or senator and start new. It’s time to change the way things are being done and We The People of the United States of America are the ones in charge. We have failed to do a proper job of supervision but it’s time for us to take over our job as boss. If you don’t do your job and do it right, you’re fired. That’s how the real world works, why is it not the way the Federal and State Governments work. WAKE UP AMERICA! This country is ours. Let’s take it back.

    Too funny.  The lame attempts at dressing up the mannequin is not cutting it.  It’s standing in the window with nothing on but a sneer and nose in the air.

    yup, you proved what a bright intellectual you are.  We’re shuddering and shaking in our boots there sweet stuff.  

    Your buddies down at the square are proving how educated and intellectual you really are, since you claimed them.  Took your collective i.q.’s below zero.  Damn it’s freezing out there. lol

    Ouch. Mommmmmm! Seek called me a commie again. I don’t consider that an insult one bit. The people who OWN America (the Chinese) are communists and seem to be doing a heck of a lot better than us. BTW, am I a socialist, a commie, a bigot or a Nazi? Those seem to be interchangeable with you dimwits.

    Damn Tebow! You’re on fire. Let me be the bigger man and apologize for any past insulting posts I might have wrote about you. I still don’t agree with you on everything but I like the cut of your jib. Tatboy and blackfon need professional help and remedial schooling.

    Right, you’ll have to monitor everything extremely closely, and if you keep looking and keep looking, you might eventrually find something subtle.  And then when you do…..you’ll recognize you’ve just wasted all your time.

    >> Verreauxii: “The Bush admin’s 8 yr policies tanked the economy and we are…gasp..shocked, Obama hasn’t fixed it in less than 3 yrs?

    This is what I always love about the Liberal Left. Words and deeds ALWAYS matter when discussing someone on the Right, yet those same standards of holding someone accountable immediately DISAPPEAR whenever they need to prop up one of their own.

    Okay, fine — let’s go with the notion that Bush policies tanked the economy. Seems to me that I recall then-candidate Obama continually making ONE major promise as he ran for President: elect me AND sweep the Democrats into Congress…so we can truly control things…and we’ll FIX everything within the first term.

    So that’s exactly what happened. Yet did Obama and the Democrats focus on the economy? No, instead they decided to ram Healthcare down everyone’s throats even though EVERY poll showed people wanted them to focus on the economy and JOBS instead. And what did we get? A healthcare plan that stinks SO much that ALL polls show Americans OVERWHELMINGLY want to see it outright repealed and thrown into the trash.

    But, hey — words and deeds count, right, Libbies? Which is why it was even MORE glorious that O-Dumba and looney Libs like Pelosi thumped their chests and arrogantly declared “But you NEED healthcare reform. This will LOWER costs and prices.”

    Only problem is healthcare rates have now SKYROCKETED instead, causing businesses to drop coverage because they can’t even afford it. Not to mention even the Congressional Budget Office has since revised their stance and acknowledged their original calculations were off, and now admitted that within the next decade — under Obamacare — costs will go UP and the national deficit will only GROW WORSE.

    But, hey, that’s okay — Obama ALSO promised if we let him break the national piggy bank…for example, after blowing a TRILLION DOLLARS on healthcare reform, the THEN said we should let him spend ANOTHER TRILLION DOLLARS on pay-offs to labor unions and Left-leaning supporters…oops, I meant to “American workers”…at which point unemployment would go down and never crack 8%. Which REALLY worked out well since it actually went UP, and if you account for those who can only find part-time work or have given up looking completely unemployment now stands at a staggering 17%.

    In 3 years Obama has spent MORE money than EVERY PRESIDENT TO DATE COMBINED. Seriously, think about that. The man has spent MORE than George Washington to George Bush all added together. Hell, in just 3 years, he as QUADRUPLED the debt that Bush created.

    Yet people like Verreauxi still want to stick their heads in the sand and CLAIM that Obama has never had any real power…and there should be no accountability or blame…for what the current Moron-in-Chief has done. And even though Obama HIMSELF has acknowledged that he hasn’t gotten the job done…and likewise ADMITTED that he DESERVES to only be a one-term President…they STILL say he shouldn’t be held accountable for anything.

    Gotta love the Liberal Left. As Lex Luthor said about bumbling Otis, his moron sidekick in the first SUPERMAN movie, “It’s amazing that brain can even generate enough power to walk…”

  • NDanielson

    Hell, Bernie, even the blatant brainwashing and 0bama-hyping goes unnoticed by his sheep. Just look at Timmy Tebow cheer!

    To liberals, pointing out bias is whining and Conservatives responding to personal attacks is playing the victim.

    Meet The Press with Tim
    Russert was held in high regard. MSNBC doesn’t discern this. It escapes their
    mentality. Instead we get David Gregory who could be best compared as an
    adolescent substitute. Sad to say David Gregory is poor man’s counterfeit wanna
    be. What a waste done by MSNBC. MSNBC cannot see this twisted difference.  I resent the distortions, the left-leaning
    exaggerations, the propaganda bull in general. How come this big difference
    compared to Tim Russert? This emotional approach to politics, people, and the
    news is the lazy way. No wonder MSNBC keeps failing. There’s not enough space
    here to explain or cover so many MSNBC faux pas’. Mr. Sarnoff the founder would
    fire all of you. Let’s get smart boys or you’ll be out. Time to grow up and
    report reality in a pragmatic, unemotional way, Call the news factually and
    truthfully, with disciplined journalistic skills. Stop the tilt, the
    “sell-out”. Set aside your own Obama groupie feelings. Try to avoid getting
    carried away by the parade type-“excitement of the crowd” mentality. Stop
    becoming giddy and Ga, Ga  (a la Chris
    Mathews). Get your feet planted on solid ground and get some self assurance.
    Get solid and straight with out falling into your old hippie style of tilting
    and slanting. LSD euphoria times are in the past. Quit pandering to the
    excitement of the crowd. Make clear, solid commentaries without selfish
    childish emotional fantasy tilting. Stop the fairy tales. Quit being the MSNBC lackies
    of Obama. Be true Americans! Step up and do your share to keep America as “the Shining
    light of truth and guidance of the world!”

    “Seems to me that I recall then-candidate Obama continually making ONE
    major promise as he ran for President: elect me AND sweep the Democrats
    into Congress…so we can truly control things…and we’ll FIX
    everything within the first term.

     I DARE you….no…DOUBLE DOG DARE you to produce a video tape, or authenticated speech transcript where Candidate Obama promised to “fix everything” within the first term.

     The first major debate on Capitol Hill was on Economic Recovery. That’s what the stimulus package was about, and although it had to be watered down with tax cuts to actually get through congress, it did, so you’re lying about the President not prioritizing the economy.

     Health insurance rates skyrocketing?  Where have you been?

     
    Release date: August 7, 2008 (three months before Obama was elected)

    Private-sector employers and their employees have seen their health
    insurance premium costs go up by more than 100 percent since 1996,
    according to the latest News and Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

    AHRQ’s survey also found that for employment-based health insurance between 1996 and 2006:

    Nationwide, the average premium cost of a family insurance plan rose
    from $4,954 to $11,381 a year, while the average cost for a single
    premium went from $1,992 to $4,118.Employers paid for most of the increases; their share rose from
    $3,679 to $8,491 a year for family coverage and from $1,650 to $3,330 a
    year for single coverage.Employees saw their share rise significantly, as well—from $1,275 to
    $2,890 a year for family coverage, and from $342 to $788 a year for
    single coverage.

    You’re still going to continue that canned, right winged lie about Obama spending more money than all President’s combined, when the debt when he walked into office was $10.6 trillion. Do the math…for that statement to be true, the debt should now be over $21.2 trillion.  It is NOT ANYWHERE NEAR that.

     It’s not that you don’t have the right to post whatever you like. People like me have the right to shoot it full of holes with the facts.

    Gingrich – credit account at Tiffany’s so he can buy his engagement rings bulk while preaching to others about family values. Called an idea man but hasn’t a single good one that someone else didn’t think of first.

    Perry – Ignores climate science, has a a prayer -palooza to ask God for rain instead. God replies by setting Texas on fire.

    Santorum – Thinks family values means being anti – gay. Says marriage has always been between one man and one woman for the sake of having children. None of his “handlers” have told him he might want to read that holy book he’s constantly misquoting. Don’t believe me ? Google him

    Paul – Thinks the current financial crisis was caused by TOO MUCH government intervention. 

    Cain – “I don’t know who the leader of ubi – beki – beki – stan – stan is” ’nuff said.

    Romney – Please just tell me what to to say and I’ll say it. I gave up my principles years ago. BTW it’s two piece underwear for the Mormons now.

    Bachman – Woman tells her that her daughter is mentally retarded because of a vaccination. Bachman replies “Mom ?”

    Huntsman – Stands no chance because he “believes” in science.
