Life
Engberg attended Highland Park High School (Class of 1959) in Highland Park, Illinois. He graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
He worked at WTOP-TV; WTOP-FM; WTOP-AM from 1968 to 1972, then moved to Group W from 1972 until he joined CBS in 1976.
Bernard Goldberg listed, as a central example of media bias, an Engberg CBS Evening News Reality Check segment that ridiculed the flat tax proposal of Steve Forbes. Goldberg leveled this charge in his book, Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, and elsewhere.
Engberg wrote disparagingly of the candidates' performance in the 2000 presidential debates. He cautioned that anonymous sources are often misleading.
Engberg died at his home in Palmetto, Florida, on March 27, 2016.
