Goldberg's ultimate hudzpah: media not Jewish enough Crosstarlist ����� At first, he seemed like just another one of the types sent over from the left to lead the right. Bernard Goldberg, author of Bias, seemed destined to rank with Barry Goldwater, author of Conscience of a Conservative, in wooing dispossessed Americans into his leftist lair by posing as a "rightist." And, then, being discredited and brought down when exposed and countered. ����� The ploy was not new. In fact, it had become almost commonplace, ever since Goldwater appeared on the scene as a "Messiah" after voting against the Civil Rights Bill in 1964, carrying arch-segregationist Mississippi with 86% of the vote as a presidential candidate. It was claimed that Goldwater was "really one of us" by the likes of Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, William L. Buckley, editor of National Review and, later on, talk-show host, Rush Limbaugh. ����� Taking power in the Republican Party, Goldwater, a life-time member of the NAACP, proceeded to dump established segregationists and push integration on a scale which dwarfed the efforts of even the Kennedies, although never counseling his own kinsmen to cohabit outside their own blood. The Arizona department-store owner ended his perfidious career by trying to repeal the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. ����� Goldberg received the same kind of "star" treatment. His book supposedly criticized the news media for being "biased." Goldberg's kinsmen own most of the news media, so any "attack" on them would seem to be a breaking of ranks, possibly a move to establish leadership over the right, which has, of late, been in open rebellion against New York and Hollywood. Nationalists have, actually, been calling for the overturning the entire media establishment, altogether. ����� Arthur Neuharth's Gannett chain, for instance, was exposed by former newspaperman Tom Hamby as requiring the promotion of integration. Reporters were given "points" for photos and articles of whites and Negroes mixing together. Those failing to toe the miscegenationist line were axed. ABC's Nightline aired a "special" about Sam Bowers, tried by an affirmative-action jury thirty-five years after four previous juries had failed to convict him in the death of a Negro agitator. Although "experts" were presented, none mentioned that trying a man by such a kangaroo court might be a miscarriage of justice. Unmitigated gall ����� But, Goldberg's book turned out to be a bit of a surprise. In English, the term would be "unmitigated gall." In Yiddish, the word is hudzpah. The author accused the news media of being biased against Israel. Ted Koppel just isn't doing enough to shore up Jewish bankers. Neither is Larry King interviewing enough members of the Israeli lobby nor Barbara Walters praising the Hollywood media-moguls enough. ����� Never mind that when Richard Barrett appeared on WRC in Washington the station was deluged with calls from self-confessed Zionists wanting the interview stopped and the program banned. Or that when Nationalists venture to produce a television show calling for the cutting off of aid to Israel the Jewish Anti-Defamation League tries to badger stations to cancel it. ����� Appearing on the G. Gordon Liddy Show, a nonplused Goldberg announced that there were not enough Jews in the news media and that not enough support was being given to Israel, with which Israelphile Liddy enthusiastically agreed. Goldberg exclaimed that when television producers use the phrase "tell me about the main character," they are, actually, using a secret "code" which means "keep the Negroes out." He concludes that broadcasters should "prove they are not biased" by placing more Negroes on the tube. ����� Critics charge, however, that the exhorbitant number of Negroes and Jews being placed on television, these days, has caused the first downturn in viewership since the Fifties. Audiences are not only turning off the integrated bill-of-fare, but catapulting the popularity of pre-Civil Rights Act "oldies," even dating back to silent-film days. ����� Notwithstanding, if Goldberg is to be believed, Jews are biased against Jews. And, whites must demand that Jews be less-biased against their own kind. Never mind that President George W. Bush has been saluting the Israeli flag in the White House, the head of the Pentagon is Donald Rumsfeld, whose second in command is Paul Wolfowitz, and presidential-spokesman is Ari Fleischer. Never mind that Israel has embroiled America in an atrocity-laden war to "make the world safe for Zionists," whether on the West Bank or the East River. No Jewish supremacists ����� Goldberg finds no "bias" in the hysterical characterizing of Columbine-rampager Dylan Klebold in the press as a "white supremacist," only to fade to black when it was discovered that the killer was a Jew. When is the term "black supremacist" or "Jewish supremacist" to be used? Goldberg never even suggests it. One would conclude that the reason Pearl Harbor was such a box-office dud was not because the public shunned its attempt to portray Negroes as war-heroes, when there were no colored troops on the Hawaiian Island, but because the film did not take more liberties in portraying integration, which did not even exist. ����� One has to wonder how Sumner Redstone, whose current project is to integrate white private schools, must feel about the Goldberg thesis? Or, Stephen Spielberg, who continually cranks out propaganda about how "illustrious" his errant kinsmen are. Or, Barbara Streisand, who is yet to voice condemnation of "club-member" Larry Silverstein, who somehow "acquired" title to the ill-fated World Trade Center. ����� In his seminal book, The History of the Jews in America, Howard M. Sachar relates that "by 1976, Jews made up 25 percent of the Washington press corps, and 27% of these were staff members of such influential media outlets as the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek and network television. By the 1970s, the principal television news producers and editors also were Jews -- Fred Friendly and Richard Salant at CBS, Reuven Frank at NBC, Avram Westin at ABC." Every form of "expression or communication" in America, Sachar wrote, now "belonged" exclusively to the Jews. ����� Goldberg's thesis that the news media is not Jewish enough would be tantamount to suggesting that Clarence Thomas is not dark enough, Jim Lehrer is not Zionist enough, "Doctor Ruth" Westheimer is not profane enough or "Judge Judy" Sheindlin is not rude enough. Or, maybe, Americans who buy the Goldberg-line are not gullible enough. Are those who conclude that there are not enough Jews or Negroes on the air watching shows produced, perhaps, in Afghanistan or, maybe, indulging in some of that legendary Afghan opium, while doing so? |
