<blockquote>I consider myself to be an old-fashioned liberal. I'm a liberal the way liberals used to be when they were like John F. Kennedy and when they were like Hubert Humphrey. When they were upbeat and enthusiastic and mainstream. I am not a liberal the way liberals are today at least as exemplified by Al Franken and Michael Moore, where they're angry, nasty, closed minded, & not mainstream, but fringe. <ref>[http://www.rightwingnews.com/interviews/goldberg.php The Bernard Goldberg Interview]</ref></blockquote>

=="Fox Derangement Syndrome"==
In his latest book, Goldberg coins the amusing term "Fox Derangement Syndrome" to refer to the extreme overreaction that some liberals exhibit with regard to the [[Fox News Channel]]. An example occured on the December 1, 2003 broadcast of ''Hardball with Chris Matthews'', in which [[liberal]] [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] political commentator [[Chris Matthews]] asked liberal Democrat politican [[Howard Dean]], "Would you break up Fox?". To which Dean replied, "On ideological grounds, absolutely yes."<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3607157/</ref>
The phrase was mentioned in U. S. News and World Reports' review of the book<ref>http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2007/4/11/have-you-got-fox-derangement-syndrome.html</ref> and has been picked up by political commentator [[Michelle Malkin]]<ref>http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004571.htm</ref> Journalist Bernard Goldberg uses the phrase as a chapter title of his book, ''Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve,'' which was reviewed by U. S. News and World Report.
The book has been attacked by liberals such as blogger Scoobie Davis<ref>http://scoobiedavis.blogspot.com/2007/05/bernard-goldberg-asks-why-do-liberals.html</ref>
