100 people who are screwing up America

More about the book

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 or pontificating, just uncommon sense about what has made this country great and the culprits undermining it. Bernard Goldberg targets America Bashers, who disdain "ordinary" Americans; Hollywood Blowhards, ditzy celebrities mistaking fame for intelligence; TV Schlockmeisters, including one whose show has been likened to maggots devouring rotten meat; and Intellectual Thugs from prestigious colleges with extreme views. Goldberg counts down the villains from 100 to 1, revealing some "serious" journalists who have compromised their integrity. He also highlights lesser-known figures who operate behind the scenes, pulling strings and harming our culture. This book addresses a nation where, as one good guy notes, if anything goes, eventually everything will. While the content is serious, Goldberg injects humor as he critiques figures like a congresswoman obsessed with hurricane names and an environmentalist flying in a private jet while scolding SUV drivers. Following his exploration of Big Journalism in Bias, Goldberg now examines American culture, becoming the voice for those who feel unheard on the crucial issue of the kind of country we want to live in.
