About this ebook
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.

From Breitbart's, a rabid far-right media that pushes wild conspiracy theories, condones white supremacists and QAnon crackpots and Trump and his crazy cultists. I would use this book to line my cat's litter box. That book is junk and doesn't even deserve half a star. Right-wing trash.

With myriad non-fiction exposes currently being written and sold (read), this one stands out among the many I've read lately! Yes, one would expect an Editor-in-Chief of a major news publication to excel at writing, but this clever work resonated from first page to the conclusion. Marlow explains at great length and in precise detail the corruption and censorship prevalent in both the mainstream media and big tech. Not as much an opinion piece as it is a factual documentation with tons of references (proof), he shows the lengths at which the corrupt elitists (and politicians) exploit Americans in almost every facet of their lives. I devoured this book in two days as I found it very hard to put down. Kudos to Mr. Marlow for a most excellent read! Highly recommended.

Seems written for those like minded souls who enjoy National Enquirer type news. Waste of precious time...
