Whining in the pages of the Los Angeles Times earlier this month, Goldberg blamed the nasty liberal media for treating the Tea Party movement so unfairly:

If you read the Op-Ed pages these days, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the GOP and the conservative movement have been taken over by know-nothing mobs, anti-intellectual demagogues and pitchfork-wielding bigots.

For the record, Goldberg, as is his tradition, included zero examples of “Op-Ed pages these days” that have ridiculed the GOP and the conservative movement.

But more importantly, has Goldberg been reading the headlines lately? Because if he has, he'd realize that it's the Tea Party movement itself that has helped push its image as "know-nothing mobs, anti-intelletual demagogues and pitchfork- wielding bigots."

In other words, Goldberg shouldn't blame the press for the the right-wing facts on the ground.
