Bernard Goldberg Books
In 2003, Goldberg published Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite, and in 2005, he published 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Cathy Young, a Boston Globe journalist commended by Goldberg in 100 People, criticized the book for including just “a Few Token Right-Wingers” and largely left or liberal-leaning characters. “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is a rollicking and revealing look at 100 of the most egregious obstacles on the path of our nation’s return to glory,” said Jonah Goldberg (no relation), and “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is out, and it’s a wonderful read for anyone not on that list,” said Brent Bozell.
In 2007, he published Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve, and in 2009, he published A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of Barack Obama’s Torrid Romance with the Mainstream Media. Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, his debut book, was published in 2001 and became a number one New York Times bestseller. Both books were national bestsellers, with A Slobbering Love Affair topping the New York Times list at number two.

He worked as a producer for CBS News in Atlanta from 1972 to 1974, then as a reporter in 1974 and a correspondent in 1976. Goldberg was a regular contributor to CBS News’ Eye to Eye with Connie Chung and 48 Hours, as well as the CBS Evening News. Don’t Blame Me and In Your Face, America was two primetime documentaries he hosted for CBS. Don’t Blame Me, which aired on May 26, 1994, focused on Americans’ perceived irresponsibility. In Your Face, America, which was broadcast on April 7, 1998, argued that entertainment such as The Jerry Springer Show, South Park, and gangsta rap music was “coarsening” American culture.
Bernard Goldberg Awards
Goldberg has won 14 Emmys for his work in journalism (six at CBS News, eight at HBO). Goldberg earned a Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Sports Journalism” in June 2000 for his segment “Dominican Free For All,” in which he examined fraudulent Major League Baseball recruitment tactics in the Dominican Republic. In 2005, he won the award for exposing Saudi Arabia’s illegal use of young boys as camel jockeys, in 2008, for a story about the post-concussion syndrome in former NFL players, and in 2009, for a story on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel about the slaughter of racehorses that were no longer profitable for their owners.
Goldberg earned another sports Emmy in May 2011, this time for his reporting on the link between athlete head injuries and an illness comparable to ALS, popularly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Goldberg earned his 12th Emmy in April 2012, this time for a piece on the College Bowl Money Trail. He also earned his 13th Emmy in May 2017 for an investigation of the International Olympic Committee. In October of that year, Goldberg received another Emmy, this time in the category of Investigative Reporting, for his article on brain injuries in minor football. In 2006, Goldberg won the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award for a piece about child trafficking in the United Arab Emirates.
It was the first time a sports program had received a DuPont honor. “Correspondent Bernard Goldberg’s interviews are sensitive and penetrating, bringing the story ahead,” the DuPont committee said of Goldberg’s second duPont win in 2012 for a body of work on concussions in the NFL. Goldberg and his crew go into the history of Lou Gehrig’s concussions as a baseball player at Columbia University and as a Yankee, uncovering new information concerning his injuries. The public, the NFL, and Congress were all made aware of this critical health issue as a result of the reporting.
Bernie and a team of Real Sports journalists won another DuPont-Columbia Award in 2018 for “Lord of the Rings,” a narrative on the Olympics. “This ambitious investigative report—filmed in nine countries—exposed bribery and corruption in the IOC and showed how its members pursue wealth, luxury, and self-glory at the price of the Games,” according to the DuPont committee. For their story “Game Change,” Bernie and the Real Sports crew won the 2019 Investigative Reporters & Editors sports prize in 2020. The paper focused on tackle football’s changing demographics.
