Bernard Richard Goldberg (born May 31, 1945 in New York City, New York), also known as Bernie Goldberg, is a nine-time Emmy Award Winning American writer, journalist, and political commentator. Goldberg is currently a commentator for Fox News and a correspondent for HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
Personal background
Goldberg was born in New York City in 1945[1] and graduated from Rutgers College in 1967.[2]
Career
From 1972 to 1977 he worked for CBS News as a producer in Atlanta; he became a reporter in 1974 and correspondent in 1977.[1] Goldberg frequently contributed to the CBS Evening News and CBS newsmagazines Eye to Eye with Connie Chung and 48 Hours. For CBS, he hosted two primetime documentaries, Don't Blame Me and In Your Face, America.[3] Don't Blame Me was broadcast on May 26, 1994 and explored alleged irresponsibility of Americans.[4] In Your Face, America, which aired on April 7, 1998, criticized a perceived cultural "coarsening" instigated by entertainment such as The Jerry Springer Show, South Park, and gangsta rap music.[5]
In 2001, his first book, Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News was published and became a number one New York Times bestseller. However, on an episode of the Phil Donahue talk show on MSNBC, political pundit and comedian Al Franken challenged Goldberg over a claim in Bias that a 1991 John Chancellor quote about the Soviet Union was "liberal hate speech".[6]
Goldberg followed Bias with two more national bestsellers — Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite in 2003 and 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America in 2005. Boston Globe journalist Cathy Young criticized 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America for listing mostly liberal or liberal-leaning individuals and only "a Few Token Right-Wingers". [7] The same book was referenced in the manifesto of Jim David Adkisson, the gunman in the Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting[8], leading some critics such as Keith Olbermann to link Goldberg's rhetoric to actual violence against liberals -- but even Olbermann acknowledged that one cannot hold an author responsible for a deranged person's actions.[9].
Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve followed in 2007, then came A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media in 2009. Both books were also national bestsellers; A Slobbering Love Affair hitting number two on the New York Times list.
Awards
Goldberg has been awarded an Emmy for journalism nine times (six at CBS News, three at HBO). For his June 2000 segment "Dominican Free For All", in which he investigated corrupt Major League Baseball recruiting practices in the Dominican Republic, Goldberg won a Sports Emmy for "Outstanding Sports Journalism". He won that award again in 2005 for his story exposing Saudi Arabia's illegal use of young boys as camel jockeys and in 2008 for a story about post-concussion syndrome suffered by some former NFL players.[10] Goldberg received the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award in 2006 for a story on the exploitation of children in the United Arab Emirates. It marked the first time that a sports program had won a duPont award. [11]
