BOOK OVERVIEW:
From five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, FOX News
star, and radio host Mark R. Levin comes a groundbreaking and
enlightening book that shows how the great tradition of the American
free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has
squandered the faith and trust of the American public, not through
actions of government officials, but through its own abandonment of
reportorial integrity and objective journalism.
Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press.
Levin shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying
freedom of the press from within: “not government oppression or
suppression,” he writes, but self-censorship, group-think, bias by
omission, and passing off opinion, propaganda, pseudo-events, and
outright lies as news.
With the depth of historical background for which his books are
renowned, Levin takes the reader on a journey through the early American
patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, followed by the early
decades of the Republic during which newspapers around the young country
were open and transparent about their fierce allegiance to one
political party or the other.
It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the twentieth
century that the supposed “objectivity of the press” first surfaced,
leaving us where we are today: with a partisan party-press
overwhelmingly aligned with a political ideology but hypocritically
engaged in a massive untruth as to its real nature.
