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.
