Bernard Goldberg quotes

The most meaningless term in the English language is "I take full responsibility." When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing. (Bernard Goldberg)
I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
There are some programs on FOX that are not only fair and balanced, they're commentary shows. They don't have to be. But they brag about how fair and balanced they are. They don't cover rallies and tea parties. They cheer lead for rallies and tea parties. And as a journalist, I am totally against that. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I admire Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly a lot because I think they're standup guys. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
The big 3 networks don't like the fact that there's a Rush Limbaugh out there, they don't like the fact that there's a Fox News, they don't like the fact that there's a Matt Drudge. They liked it when it was nice, when it was just the three of them. Well, it ain't that way anymore. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I said that liberals think people who live in the middle of the country are a bunch of jerks, and obviously all liberals don't think that. But I will tell you what, an awful lot of liberal elites think that. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I worked with these liberal elites for 28 years at CBS News, and they were always throwing around the term 'white trash,' by which they meant poor southerners who didn't go to Harvard. I'm not sure why that makes them trash. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I don't think liberals in the media are really that much different from liberals outside the media. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
You don't smear somebody as a racist when there is obviously nothing there. (Bernard Goldberg)
Liberals, many of them, not all of them, but many of them are obsessed with race. They see everything through a filter of race. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
Circumstantial evidence is evidence. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
Hurricanes are dangerous things, and they're no fun to go through. And if you come out of it in one piece and your house comes out of in one piece, it's no fun living with no electricity for a day or a week, a month, whatever it is. And I speak, unfortunately, from personal experience on that matter. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
A lot of people who voted for Barack Obama expected and were led to expect something new in politics: a new tone of political discourse in Washington. And I think - I think they're disappointed, because Barack Obama is not a new kind of politician. In fact, he's an old Chicago politician. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
Bill Maher fancies himself the reincarnation of Lenny Bruce. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
This is the essence of the problem. To Dan Rather and to a lot of other powerful members of the chattering class, that which is right of center is conservative. That which is left of center is middle of the road. No wonder they can't recognize their own bias. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
They're responsible for the problem [of cultural meanness]. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
Don't pretend to be a journalist if you're not a journalist. (Bernard Goldberg)
I mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time; nobody buys it anymore. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
I know real people, whose names I could tell you, people I know who have said 'I've stopped buying the New York Times.' Why? Because their editorial position has filtered, has leached into the news pages. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
There's a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of. View quote
Bernard Goldberg
You know, I was at CBS News for 28 years. I may have run an unidentified source. Frankly, I don't remember. View quote
