Goldberg: Limbaugh Has To Avoid Trap

Former CBS correspondent and Fox News media analyst Bernie Goldberg was at the Nixon Library on Wednesday night to discuss and sign his new book, A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media to a crowd of over 500 in the East Room. He also gave TNN a few minutes of his time to discuss bias in the news media, and the Obama administration’s feud with conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Goldberg’s comments about Limbaugh are interesting, explaining that the talk radio show host maybe sacrificing the success of the Republican party for conservative orthodoxy. It’s a “huge plus,” Goldberg explains, if Limbaugh can convince moderates, but if “Rahm Emanuel succeeds in creating an image where they think Rush Limbaugh wants the President to fail period”  and if the unsophisticated voters buy it he will wind up hurting the Republican Party.
