Career

Goldberg worked in Prague for less than a year before heading to Washington, D.C., in 1992 to work at the American Enterprise Institute. He served for Ben J. Wattenberg while at AEI. He was the writer for Wattenberg's nationally syndicated column and for Wattenberg's book, Values Matter Most. He has worked on several PBS public affairs documentaries, including a two-hour special hosted by David Gergen and Wattenberg. After graduating in 1991, Goldberg was allowed to serve on Goucher College's Board of Trustees right away, a position he held for three years.

Goldberg, a 1994 graduate of Wattenberg's Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg, became a founding producer of the Wattenberg Think Tank. He moved to New River Media, an independent television production firm that produced "Think Tank," as well as other television shows and projects throughout the year. Goldberg has worked on a number of television shows in the United States, Europe, and Japan. He wrote, produced, and edited two documentaries for New River Media, Gargoyles: Guardians of the Gate and Notre Dame: Witness to History.

In 1998, he joined National Review as a contributing editor. National Review Online (NRO) was an affiliate of National Review by the end of the year, and by the time he did, he was encouraged to publish National Review Online (NRO) as a sister publication to National Review. He was editor of NRO for many years and then became editor-at-large, which later became editor-at-large.

In The New Yorker, Goldberg's mother Lucianne Goldberg was involved in the Clinton–Lewinsky affair. Goldberg has talked about his mother and the Lewinsky affair: a bit of Lewinsky snuckle:

These tapes became the focal point of the Lewinsky fiasco.

Goldberg, an editor and writer, began in 1998 and wrote a twice-weekly column at National Review, which is syndicated to numerous newspapers around the country, and at Townhall.com. Ramesh Ponnuru, Richard Brookhiser, and Kevin D. Williamson are among the National Review contributors, including Ramesh Ponnuru, Richard Brookhiser, and Kevin D. Williamson.

At National Review, Goldberg also wrote the "Goldberg File," a column that was predominantly lighter and more focused on humor and cultural analysis. His column made pop-culture references to works such as Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, of which Goldberg has referred to as a fan. Goldberg was also a regular contributor to The National Review blog The Corner, often authoring articles with light-hearted, comedic, and pop-culture references.

In May 2019, Goldberg left National Review.

He has written for The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Commentary, The Public Interest, The Wilson Quarterly, The New York Post, and Slate, in addition to being a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors. In 2005, the Los Angeles Times added Goldberg to its editorial staff.

Goldberg co-founded The Dispatch, an online news magazine aimed at providing political, socioeconomic, and cultural perspectives from a center-right viewpoint in 2020.

Jonah Goldberg, the host of The Remnant, an interview show that covers a variety of topics such as politics, political philosophy, and current events. Goldberg has been a regular participant in Ricochet's programs, including the podcast GLoP Culture starring Goldberg, John Podhoretz, and Ricochet co-founder Rob Long. He appeared on Bloggingheads.com from 2006 to 2010.

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left by Goldberg, from Mussolini to Politics of Meaning, was published in January 2008. It was No. 76. In its seventh week on the list, #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list of hardcover nonfiction was at number one. Some historians have sluggishly condemned the book as "poor scholarship," "propaganda," and not academic. Other reviewers characterized the book as "profound" and "a slew of interesting findings backed up by extensive study." Johnny Heller narrated the audiobook version of Liberal Fascism. In 2012, Goldberg published The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas. On April 30, 2013, Tyranny of Cliches' paperback book was published. The audiobook version was narrated by Goldberg himself. Suicide of the West, his most recent piece, was published in 2018.

In May 2012, Goldberg was dubbed a "two-time Pulitzer award nominee" in the book jacket of his second book, The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas. Goldberg had only been an entrant in the Pulitzer competition and had never been chosen as a finalist, according to NBC News reporter Bill Dedman, who's moniker "Pulitzer nominee" would suggest. Only those interested in becoming a participant in the Pulitzer competition must submit an entry form together with a small fee or someone else do so on their behalf. Goldberg and his publishing company regretted the mistake and subsequently deleted the line from the book jacket following Dedman's report.

Citation, meritocracy, liberty, federalism, and Constitution interpretation are among the topics in his books' most popular subjects. He has criticized liberals' ethics and morals, as well as his clashes with libertarians in his writings. His writings during the Trump presidency and internal party rot. He was a supporter of the Iraq War and has urged American military involvement elsewhere in the world, saying, "Every ten years or so, the United States must pick up some tiny little country and throw it against the wall to tell the world we mean business." He has defended historical colonialism in Africa as more effective than it is generally given credit; in one column, he suggested that US imperialism on the continent could help solve Africa's persistent problems. When he wrote in October 2006 that invading Iraq was a mistake, he called it a "noble" mistake and maintained that liberal opponents of the war policy didn't want America to fail: "In other words, their resistance is not to war, it's to wars that advance US interests. ... I must admit, one of the things that made me reluctant to come to the conclusion that the Iraq war was a mistake was my distaste for the antiwar arguments' "sabbiness."

He based his argument on William Henry III's obituary. Henry had written on multiculturalism and cultural parity, stating that "it's not the same thing to put a man on the moon as to stick a bone in your nose." "[m]ulticulturalism—which is simply egalitarianism wrapped in rainbow-colored paper, Goldberg said—has raised the belief that all ideas are equal, all cultures equal, and all cultures are comparable."

He has sluggishly dismissed the theory of "social justice" as "anything its champions want it to mean" or "good things" that no one has to fight for and no one dares to oppose."

Goldberg has publicly clashed with those on the political left, including Juan Cole, over US Iraq policy, and Air America Radio's Janeane Garofalo, who has accused him of being a hawk on the Iraq war. Goldberg bet on January 8, 2005, suggesting that Iraq would not have a civil war, that it will have a functioning constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans would, in two years' time, say that the war was worth it." Cole refused to accept and the bet was never made. Cole may have won if Cole had accepted the bet, Goldberg later admitted that if Cole had won the bet.

What's Your Issue? Goldberg and Peter Beinart of The New Republic hosted a conservative vs. liberal WebTV show, What's Your Problem? from 2007 to 2010. It began on National Review Online and then moved to Bloggingheads.tv.

"Look, I think liberals have a good deal with Fox News," Goldberg said. It does lean to the right, primarily in its opinion setting, but also in its story selection (which is fine by me) and elsewhere. However, it's also important to note that Fox is less a symbol of ideological conservatism and more a populist, tabloidy network." During the Trump years and beyond, although Goldberg has defended certain news hosts and shows on Fox News, he has become more sympathetic toward Fox News' editorial boards, including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. He resigned as a Fox contributor in November 2021, in protest against what he described as a pattern of incendiary and fabrication claims made by the network's opinion hosts in favor of former President Donald Trump.

Liberals have chastised Fox News for disliking Fox News, saying that they have no "problem with MSNBC's editorializing of Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews, and that conservatives are perfectly fine to play the game." "MSNBC's answer to a question no one asked" is Goldberg's answer to Olbermann.

Goldberg remained highly critical of conservative media's embrace of President Trump during the first year of his presidency. Goldberg said this about Trump's supporters in the media: "Weakness in the media" is a factor that should be addressed.

Goldberg became increasingly critical of both the Republican Party's embrace of President Trump and the abandonment of pre-Trump values during the Trump Presidency.

Goldberg and colleague Steve Hayes announced on November 21, 2021, that they were breaking their links to Fox News in protest against Fox News' endorsement of Tucker Carlson's Patriot Purge, which the group referred to as "a series of incoherent conspiracy-mongering, plagued with truthual inaccuracies, half-truths, deceptive images, and condemning omissions."
