Bernard Richard Goldberg (b. 31 May 1945 in New York City, New York) is an 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 6 Emmy Awards.[1] At HBO he won three Sports Emmy Awards for Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and a DuPont-Columbia Award[1]. Goldberg frequently contributed to the CBS Evening News and 48 Hours, a CBS newsmagazine.
In 1996, Goldberg wrote an op-ed column in The Wall Street Journal, accusing network news operations of harboring liberal bias.
After the The Wall Street Journal article appeared, Goldberg shifted the focus of his work to accusing the media of liberal bias, and particularly in the reporting of news. 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 latest book, Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, was released in stores on April 17, 2007.

In addition to the Emmy Awards that Goldberg has won, he 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, which is considered to be one of the most prestigious journalism awards. [2]
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, Al Franken challenged Goldberg over a claim in Bias that a 1991 John Chancellor quote about the Soviet Union was "liberal hate speech".[3]
His book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America has been criticized for listing mostly liberal or liberal-leaning individuals, but no "overzealous or corrupt government regulators". A few conservative individuals are also listed, however. [4]
