The number one New York Times bestselling author of Bias delivers another bombshell—this time aimed at . . .

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America

No 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.

I bought this book "sight unseen" based on the strength of seeing some of Bernie Goldberg's journalistic work on CBS, thinking that since he was a serious journalist this would probably be a serious piece. Boy was I ever wrong! If this is his idea of a joke, then it's a $26 joke on me and other readers like me who paid full price for this piece of literary embarrassment.

So far as I could tell, there is nothing remotely serious in the book. The summaries of even those people included must have been pulled from some airhead's brain, on the fly. This whole production is a pandering and groveling salute of the worse kind to Rush Limbaugh's brigade of ditto heads. I hope Bernie does not get the "guilties" as he laughs all the way to the bank, because this piece of trash is going to come back to haunt his career. He can count on it.

Since G.W. Bush, Dick Chaney and Condoleeza Rice are nowhere to be found on the author's list one must also assume that he has no idea of what it takes to either improve or screw up America. And given this production, he clearly does not even care.

Another possibility is that the America he is trying to keep from being screwed and the one I am trying to save are two entirely different places. In either case, there should be some overlap in what one considers dangerous to the nation. The only overlap I see is Al Sharpton, who since he is so high on Goldberg's otherwise embarrassing list, I suppose Sharpton cannot be as bad as my prejudices have led me to believe him to be. Based on his rank on Goldberg's list alone, means it is time to reassess my prejudices against the oily looking Reverend. Al? Get ready to be promoted!

[...]? One Star

I just LOVED listening to Goldberg's choices ! ? Hearing the author read his own book helps YOU understand his choices.
Quite an INTERESTING, "uplifting", extremely INFORMATIVE piece of literature!
A MUST READ FOR EVERY LIBERAL !!!

This is my kind of book. A brief look at a few of the idiots that make life in the great USA burdensome. It will provide plenty of ammo for discussion with your liberal friends. You will need it because every time you provide them with the facts, if they are like my liberal friends, they will quickly change the point of reference and try to get you on something else, much like the person who finds Jesus and quickly becomes a religious know-it-all. Buy the book and savor the humor and insight. This is not what you would consider a scholarly work but it adds to the ongoing political discussion. Who knows, if you read it with an open mind, you may even become more conservative!

Another piece of rubbish generated by the huge conservative computer buried in an underground vault somewhere in the heart of the country. Totally predictable. Yawn.

...it fulfilled my expectations. I enjoyed what I perceived to be lots of "tongue-in-cheek" humor.

I think some of you dudes oughtta lighten up a bit. Political discussions, especially the ad hominum variety, seem a s/w petty concern to get into a big twist about.

This is one guy's (entertaining) opinions. Dig it for that alone.
