About this eBook
Six-time New York Times bestselling author, FOX News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin “trounces the news media” (The Washington Times) in this timely and groundbreaking book demonstrating how the great tradition of American free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has squandered the faith and trust of the public.
Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press. In “Levin’s finest work” (Breitbart), he shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within—not through actions of government officials, but with its own abandonment of reportorial integrity and objective journalism.
With the depth of historical background for which his books are renowned, Levin takes you on a journey through the early American patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is 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 another.
It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the 20th 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.

Didn't deserve 1star, but did it because if you would research history you would see the examples of the people jailed and fined by Thomas Jefferson one of the write about his black mistress which angered Jefferson, another one wrote about how the law in which so called writer ftom Fox employee wrote in this book wrote about how the law was against freedom of the press. Look in wikipedia that man ended up being sanctioned as the her of The Freedom on the Press and had his fine given back to him. The other two I'm not going to waste my time explaining. Look up what you think you believe. Also he forgot the most important thing I Believe that are in the ethics of journalism. They should not be campaigning for politics. There are to report the news honestly. After reading first chapter I wanted to write a paper mapping out how Fox news is twisting the news and history to fit their stories. Because they lie everyday they have many books written over 20 yrsjust to tool you. Fooled!

An Orwellian attempt by Mark Levin to prop himself up as a defender of the same free press he sees as biased for being the slightest bit critical of his view points. Mark Levin goes about this book scapegoating political movements he disliked in an attempt to call for policies to further politicize free press in the United States.

How do 5 Five Star reviews, now 6, combine for a 2.0 rating? Google liberals trying to do math again. I have an advance copy. Great read that will make sense to any rational, honest reader.
