Appearing on Fox News's O'Reilly Factor Tuesday night, media analyst Bernard Goldberg praised reporter Sharyl Attkisson for calling out the liberal bias of her former employer, CBS News, in her upcoming book. He then lamented the difficultly in ending such bias: "But here's why the problem is not going to go away. Even if top management wants to eliminate this liberal bias, there are too many producers and reporters in important positions at all the networks who are liberal, and who let their liberalism affect their journalism."

Goldberg proposed a way to stop the problem: "There's only one solution, only one. And I don't think anybody has the guts to implement it. And that is, if you're a repeat offender and you let your biases show, you not only get fired, you get publicly fired, and the management let's everybody know why you got fired. And perhaps that will make the rank and file, you know, come into line."
