Bernie's Time Machine: Offending Everybody
['Bernard Goldberg']
Bernard Goldberg's Commentary
“What I say will please nobody.”The late Charles Krauthammer famously said, “You're betraying your whole life if you don't say what you think - and you don't say it honestly and bluntly.”That’s how I’ve long viewed my role (and value) as a commentator.
It’s also something I think is grossly lacking from today’s political commentary (whether it’s cable news, radio, or online).
In May of 2015, I went on The O’Reilly Factor to talk to Bill about a “gotcha” question a news-reporter threw at Republican Senator Ted Cruz.
I thought Cruz handled it well, but a broader fear among Republican politicians back then kept the senator from answering it cleanly.
By the way, that Republican fear, which I describe toward the end of the clip, has since been replaced by something else — more specifically someone else.
