In an interview on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning, Goldberg said everyone quoted in the CBS story backed up CBS's position - that Bush served dishonorably. "It was absolutely disgraceful," Goldberg told "Fox & Friends."

Rather and CBS have refused to reveal where they got the questionable documents - saying only that they came from a solid source.

"What it means is they're going to stick by their story," Goldberg said. He said he doesn't expect CBS to name its source - "but at least tell us something about the source," he said.

According to Goldberg, if the source ends up having a connection to the Democratic National Committee or to the Kerry campaign, it will be the biggest story of the year: "It not only sinks John Kerry's candidacy, but it is 'lights out' for CBS News as we know it."

Goldberg called it ironic that Dan Rather - a journalist who helped bring President Richard Nixon down - is now behaving the way President Nixon did during Watergate.

"It's kind of sad," Goldberg said. He said CBS is circling the wagons, and as for Dan Rather, "he's going to hope this goes away."

Goldberg, considered a turncoat by some of his former associates at CBS News, has endeared himself to conservatives by writing several books about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather and others slant the evening news.

His books include "Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News" and "Arrogance: Rescuing America From the Media Elite."
