From six-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.
