Why Donnie Deutch of CNBC Gets No Viewers

Bernard Goldberg, author of "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America," appeared on CNBC's Big Idea with Donnie Deutch last night. Goldberg was told beforehand that there would be a panel discussing his latest book. The panel was a group of 4 liberals, as well as Donnie Deutch, who is also liberal. Not a single person even read Goldberg's book, but the entire segment was an attack of Goldberg and his book, saying that it was not fair because there weren't enough conservatives on his list, etc. He never had a chance to respond to the attacks.

Goldberg spoke on Rush Limbaugh's program this afternoon and gave a better description of what happened. Goldberg apparently confronted Deutch on the air, asking why he lied to Goldberg by saying that it would be a balanced panel. Goldberg then said that this proves his point about a biased media and made Deutch look like a jackass. Predictably, all of this was deleted from the segment.

Just another day in the life of the liberal media...and another reason why Deutch's program registers a big fat 0.0 in the ratings category.

[Mea culpa to my readers: I misspelled his name by leaving out an 's,' but come on - does anyone really care about this guy anyway?]
