The number one New York Times bestselling author of Bias delivers
another bombshell--this time aimed at . . .100 People Who Are
Screwing Up AmericaNo preaching. No pontificating. Just some
uncommon sense about the things that have made this country
great--and the culprits who are screwing it up.Bernard Goldberg
takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look
down their snobby noses at "ordinary" Americans) . . . the
Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're
smart just because they're famous) . . . the TV Schlockmeisters
(including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass
of maggots devouring rotten meat) . . . the Intellectual Thugs
(bigwigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut
from left wing to far left wing) . . . and many more.Goldberg names
names, counting down the villains in his rogues' gallery from 100
all the way to 1--and, yes, you-know-who is number 37. Some
supposedly "serious" journalists also made the list, including the
journalist-diva who sold out her integrity and hosted one of the
dumbest hours in the history of network television news. And there
are those famous miscreants who have made America a nastier place
than it ought to be--a far more selfish, vulgar, and cynical
place.But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have
come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who
operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of
strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture. Most of all, 100
People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long
as anything goes, as one of the good guys in the book puts it,
sooner or later everything will go.This is serious stuff for sure.
But Goldberg will also make you laugh as he harpoons scoundrels
like the congresswoman who thinks there aren't enough hurricanes
named after black people, and the environmentalist to the stars who
yells at total strangers driving SUVs--even though she tools around
the country in a gas-guzzling private jet.With Bias, Bernard
Goldberg took us behind the scenes and exposed the way Big
Journalism distorts the news. Now he has written a book that goes
even further. This time he casts his eye on American culture at
large--and the result is a book that is sure to become the voice of
all those Americans who feel that no one is speaking for them on
perhaps the most vital issue of all: the kind of country in which
we want to live.
The book provides several hundred reasons why Obama must be sent
back to Chicago, and why Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Waters and Schumer,
must be politically neutered and spayed if America's economy and
reputation are to survive the ravages of this administration. And,
miracle of miracle, it will leave you laughing.
In his #1 bestseller, Bias, Emmy Award-winning journalist Bernard
Goldberg exposed the liberal biases of the mainstream American
media. Now he goes even further, not only taking on Big Journalism,
but offering a 12-step program to bring balance back to the
newsroom. Unafraid to name names, he reveals; how the media's
coverage of the of the Jayson Blair scandal missed for more serious
problems at the New York Times - Which CBS News icon is
"transparently liberal" according to commentator Andy Rooney - why
the media refuse to school straight on gun ownership - how some
journalists, like Bob Costas and Tim Russert, do get it--and how
they think American journalism can be made better - and much
more.
