I personally didn't enjoy reading this piece, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Bernard Goldberg seems to be just as opinionated as the people he refers to in his work. Through my eyes this seemed like the age old conflict between Conservative Republicans and Liberal Democrats. While some people might enjoy this topic, I do not. In my opinion, the conflict between political parties, outside of specific platforms, becomes misconstrued and overridden with personal objectives and biased beliefs. This excerpt we have read for class is a perfect example.
Apart from my opinion... This book did have some funny pieces in it. It was also interesting to view some of Bernards opinions of people (the man seems to have a knack for finding the worse in people). All in all, I think Bernard is a good writer who voices his opinion strongly. Perhaps reading this book in full would shed more light on the matter, but from the pages I've read thus far I'm not interested in pursuing the rest.
