Bernard Richard Goldberg (born May 31, 1945 in New York City, New York), also known as Bernie Goldberg, is a six-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.
Goldberg worked for CBS as a reporter for 28 years, where he won six Emmy Awards. At HBO he won three Sports Emmy Awards for Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and a DuPont-Columbia Award. Goldberg frequently contributed to the CBS Evening News and 48 Hours, a CBS newsmagazine.
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. Goldberg followed Bias with two more national bestsellers — Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite and 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. His book, Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve, was released in stores on April 17, 2007.
Goldberg's latest book, A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media was released on January 26, 2009 by conservative publishing house Regnery Publishing.
Awards
Goldberg has been awarded an Emmy for journalism six times. 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.
Criticism and controversy
Comments and published works by Goldberg have, in some cases, generated negative responses and criticism. 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".
Boston Globe journalist Cathy Young criticized Goldberg's book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America for listing mostly liberal or liberal-leaning individuals and only "a Few Token Right-Wingers," without acknowledging this bias.
Goldberg and his book A Slobbering Love Affair were both criticized on the January 27th, 2009 episode of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Keith Olbermann accused Goldberg of taking statements made by Tom Brokaw, during an appearance on The Charlie Rose Show, out of context regarding Barack Obama's personal heroes, giving the appearance of quotes Brokaw did not make. Olbermann, responding to criticism by Goldberg of MSNBC and others in the media, accused Goldberg of "journalistic malpractice", and in the daily feature on his program, awarded Goldberg that day’s title of "Worst Person in the World."
