Line 5:
Line 5: − − =="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> − − Fox Derangement Syndrome has been said to have been shown by [[Keith Olbermann]], [[Al Franken]], [[Janeane Garofalo]], [[Chris Matthews]], [[Angelina Jolie]], [[John Edwards]], [[Barack Obama]], [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Howard Dean]], [[Robert Greenwald]].{{fact}} − − 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. − Line 19:

<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>
