Another Journalist Notes Media Bias



A former CBS reporter is backing another former CBS staffer's claims of bias in the national news media.

The bestseller Bias by Bernard Goldberg has received a lot of attention from those inside and outside the national news media. Now David Dolan, a former a CBS reporter who spent years in the Middle East, says while his experience with CBS was more limited than Goldberg's, he did sense the editors in New York tended to order stories that were more favorable to the Palestinians than the Israelis.

Dolan, who is a Christian, says that during the 1980s the network reported on every Palestinian death at the hands of Israelis — but when Palestinians started killing each other as the uprising wore on, the editors did not want to hear about it.

Dolan says the bias is not limited to CBS, pointing out that there has tended to be a pro-Palestinian bias in much of the American media for a number of years.
