From the editor in chief of Breitbart News, the New York Times
bestselling “must-read” (Sean Hannity) investigation into how
the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and
his supporters on behalf of the political left. In this timely and
“important book” (Glenn Beck), Marlow explains how the
establishment press destroyed its own credibility with a relentless
stream of “fake news” designed to smear Donald Trump and his
supporters while advancing a leftist agenda. He also reveals key
details on how our information gatekeepers truly operate and why
America’s “fake news” moment might never end. Breitbart—and
Trump—began banging the drum about “fake news” during the
2016 election, and it resonated with millions of voters because
they intuitively knew the corporate media was willing to say or
write anything to achieve their political ends. It’s a battle cry
that continues to this day. Deeply researched and eye-opening,
Breaking the News rips back the curtain on the inner workings of
how the establishment media weaponizes information to achieve their
political and cultural ends.

Vito and the Others (1991), Death of a Neapolitan Mathematician
(1992) and Libera (1993), the debuts of three young Neapolitan
filmmakers, stood out dramatically from the landscape of Italian
cinema in the early 1990s. On the back of their critical success,
over the next decade and a half, Naples became a thriving centre
for film production.In this first study in English of one of the
most vital and stimulating currents in contemporary European
Cinema, Alex Marlow-Mann provides a detailed, multi-faceted and
provocative study of this distinct regional tradition. In tracing
the movement's relationship with the popular musical melodramas
previously produced in Naples, he reveals how contemporary
Neapolitan filmmakers have interrogated, subverted and reconfigured
cinematic convention as part of a through-going re-examination of
Neapolitan identity.Key features include: analyses of over 45
contemporary Italian films, including Paolo Sorrentino's The
Consequences of Love, Mario Martone's L'amore molesto, Antonio
Capuano's Pianese Nunzio: 14 in May and Vincenzo Marra's Sailing
Home; a theoretical discussion of the concept of regional cinema;
an examination of the movement in its broader context as both
product and critique of Mayor Bassolino's 'Neapolitan Renaissance';
and a study of one European film industry in terms of legislation,
production, distribution and exhibition.

The New York Times bestselling author of the "must-read" (Sean
Hannity) Breaking the News and editor-in-chief of Breitbart News
Network returns with this timely and eye-opening deep dive
investigation into the 46th president. Over his 50-year career in
Washington, Joe Biden has become known for his wild dishonesty,
embarrassing policy failings, and an absolute lack of
accountability, culminating in his predictably unpopular
presidency. But what has not yet been revealed is the vast web of
consultants, bureaucrats, corporate titans, foreign interests, and
various extended family members (it's not just Hunter!) who have
achieved unfathomable wealth and power while keeping Biden in
charge. Now, Alex Marlow reports the findings of a shocking,
in-depth investigation into the individuals and entities behind the
devastating decisions that have empowered the global elite at the
expense of the American public. With his signature "prescient"
(Tucker Carlson) writing, Marlow unearths new details such as:
EXPOSED: The secret cadre of consultants running Joe Biden's
Washington. EXPLAINED: How Joe Biden sold America's intellectual
property to communist China. UNCOVERED: The unreported and
audacious reason the underwhelming, under-qualified, and unpopular
Kamala Harris was chosen to be vice president. REVEALED: All the
ways the Bidens' bag cash off of the family name.
