I would suggest before you start throwing around words such as "ignorant" you do more research yourself.

On page 5 in Alterman's book he writes, "Roughly 72 of the 232 pages of Bias are devoted to attacks or score-settling with Dan Rather, whom Goldberg believes to have ruined his career."

Now, to me, I would call that amount of space quite substantial.

As far as credibility, Alterman's background includes a B.A. in History and Govt from Cornell, a M.A. in International Relations from Yale and a Ph D. in U.S. History from Stanford. I can't imagine Goldberg's scholastic achievements exceed this, nor his research abilities.

As I said, I won't be buying a book like "Bias" because I have read numerous book reviews and critiques of Goldberg's book and the overwhelmingly number have said Goldberg uses shoddy research and mischaracterizes many facts. (And to be fair, for the same reason, I also would not pick up the book written by a federal prisoner on George W. Bush that details rumors of drug use by Bush).
