"In Unfreedom of the Press, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, Fox News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within. Mark Levin provides a groundbreaking and enlightening book that reveals how the great tradition of the American free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has squandered the faith and trust of the America public, not through "government oppression or suppression," he writes, but through 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 and debated the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This was 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. This is not simply another book about the press, but a searing critique of a once proud and respected profession - and a fascinating exploration of where we must go from here." - from the inner front jacket flap.
