110 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37)

110 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37)

Bernard Goldberg

New York Times bestselling author Bias brings another bombshell - this time aimed at... The 100 People Who Screwed Up America

Bernard Goldberg coldly aimed at America Bashers (cultural elites who snobbishly look at "ordinary" Americans)... Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly dizzying celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous)... TV Schlockmeisters (including one whose show is compared to a stirring mass of worms devouring rotten meat)... Intellectual goons (the size of some of our best colleges, whose attitudes range from the left wing to the far left wing)... and more.

Goldberg lists names, counting the bad guys in his gallery of rogues from 100 all the way to 1—and, yes, you already know who the number 37 is. Some supposedly "serious" journalists also made the list, including a journalistic diva who sold her integrity and ran one of the dumbest hours in the history of online television news. And then there are those famous villains who have made America a nastier place than it should be - a far more selfish, vulgar and cynical place.

But Goldberg doesn't just bring together the usual suspects we've met and hate them. It also exposes some of the people who seem far from the spotlight, but still manage to pull many strings and cause all sorts of damage to our culture. What's more, 100 people who screw up America talk about a country where as long as everything goes, as one of the good guys in the book says, sooner or later everything will pass.

This must be serious stuff. But Goldberg will also make you laugh as he harpoons scoundrels like a congresswoman who thinks there aren't enough hurricanes named after black people, and an environmentalist a star who yells at complete strangers driving SUVs—even though she tools all over the country into a private jet that swallows gas.

Alongside Bias, Bernard Goldberg took us behind the scenes and exposed the way great journalism distorts news. Now he's written a book that goes even further. This time he has his eye on American culture as a whole—and the result is a book that is sure to become the voice of all those Americans who feel that no one speaks for them about perhaps the most important issue of all: the kind of country we want to live in.
