Now, breaking ranks and naming names, he reveals a corporate news culture in which the closed-mindedness is breathtaking and in which entertainment wins over hard news every time.

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.

Now, in CRAZIES TO THE LEFT OF ME, WIMPS TO THE RIGHT, Bernie speaks for the millions of Americans who are saying: Enough!

Enough of the leftist lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think "Radical Christians" – whatever that means – are "as big a threat to America as Radical Muslims." Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Saddam, Abu Ghraib to the Stalinist gulag, and Mel Gibson to Hitler. Enough of the military–hating crazies who run San Francisco. ("Just what this country needs," Bernie writes, "a city with Rice–A–Roni and a foreign policy.") Enough of the hyper–partisan, ultra–PC liberal media, which often seems more sympathetic to the "victims of humiliation" at Abu Ghraib than to our troops who are dying at the hands of Iraqi fundamentalists.

And enough, too, Bernie declares, of the wimps on the right –– the gutless wonders who don't have the courage to stand up for their own principles. Enough of their pandering, trolling for votes, and outspending the Democrats.

Conservatives still believe in important things, Bernie argues, but the jury is out on the Republicans. The 2006 election was a wake–up call, and Bernie warns: If the wimps on the right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the left just might win the White House in '08.
