Summary:
From six-time #1 NY Times bestselling writer, FOX News superstar, and radio web host Mark R. Levin comes a groundbreaking and enlightening reserve that shows the way the great custom from the American free of charge press has degenerated right into a standardless profession which has squandered the faith and trust of the American general public, not through activities of authorities officials, but through its abandonment of reportorial integrity and objective journalism.
Unfreedom of the Press is not just another reserve about about Unfreedom of the Press the press. Levin shows how those entrusted with news confirming today are destroying independence of the press from within: “not really federal government oppression or suppression,” he writes, but self-censorship, group-think, bias by omission, and moving off opinion, propaganda, pseudo-events, and outright lies as news.
With the depth of historical background that his books are renowned, Levin takes the reader on the journey through the first American patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, followed by the early decades from the Republic where newspapers across the young country were open and transparent about their fierce allegiance to one political party or the other.
It was just in the beginning of the Progressive Period and the twentieth century that the supposed “objectivity of the press” first surfaced, leaving us where we are today: having a partisan party-press overwhelmingly aligned with a political ideology but hypocritically engaged in a massive untruth as to its real nature.
