Unfreedom of the Press

I have been a fan of Mark R. Levin’s Fox news show “Life, Liberty, and Levin” for a long time. His insight, knowledge and logical mind on American political history, cultural developments and constitutional law have always been interesting and educational. I just finished reading his best-selling book (Unfreedom of the Press by Mark R. Levin) and enjoyed his keen evaluation of how the American press throughout our history has influenced our culture and political landscape. Before reading this fantastic book I did not realize just how politically biased the American news media has been in American history and how they often sided with a particular political party and point of view. I also discovered that early in our history the news media USED TO BE PATRIOTS when they wrote about the news in our country. This book exposes the news media for spreading not just news, but pure lies and propaganda as well depending on their political point of view. I was surprised but also aware of the almost total lack of objectivity in the news media resources both in the past and as well as present day. The sad thing is how the destructive collective mind-set seems to dominate most of the news reporters in the papers, T.V. and other news outlets. It seems our colleges and universities had succeeded in brain washing their graduates to believe that a failed socialism form of government is superior than our freedom based form of government. In fact, it is scary to think that so many people today prefer slavery over free markets? This excellent book covers the following material: News as political and ideological activism, the early patriot press, the modern Democratic Party –press, the real threat to press freedom, new, propaganda and pseudo-events, the New York Times betrays millions, and the truth about collusion, abuse of power, and character. This is an important book for anyone who is interested in truth and facts when it comes to the American far left present day politics and the role our media plays in promoting their socialistic and collectivist ideology. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Never Trust a Politician: A critical review of politics and politicians).

I spent my life as a Plumber. Never, in my life, did I think I was an Intellectual. However, after reading this extremely readable, understandable, and educational book, I can feel like one. In fact, I now know for a fact, after reading Mark Levin's new book, that my intelligence is, in this area, is greater than Assistant Professor Mark Lerner at Marist College, and anyone at NPR radio. This is just a simple fact. This may be one of the greatest books of our time, dealing with an issue haunting this country, for decades. We hear pundits on TV, telling us that the media is "slated left", some can get honest enough to state what they really are: leftists, who's ideology is in lock-step, with the Progressive/Democratic-Socialist (oxymoron's anyone?), party. They tell us "This is just the way it is". Really? WHY? Are they they only party in this country? NO. So, why is this "Just the way it is"? This should be criminal. Our Founding Fathers, saw the importance of the Press. They have the power they have, so that they may INFORM Americans, with OUT bias, with OUT their ideology, effecting their reporting, so that, the AMERICAN PEOPLE, can make the BEST decisions they can, no matter their party, or standing in life, for themselves, their families, and for the future, of this great country. Today, I have hope, once again, that we may just be able to get back to, TRUTH IN JOURNALISM. Mark Levin gives us TRUTH, backed up by FACTS, with all the references you will need, to defend your stance for a FREE and UNBIASED Press. If you see a one star review? If you see so-called "Professionals", who are attempting to destroy the importance of this book? They are LYING to you. I give you MY WORD. What they are doing, is giving you THEIR biased, ideological OPINIONS. They are NOT based on fact. They are based on EMOTION. BUY THIS BOOK. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. I stake my reputation as one who attempts to review everything I read, see, or experience, with as much honesty and truth, as I can. I have NO desire, to deceive anyone, for my own ideological or political ends. Ever. I love my country. I love my countrymen. ALL of them. Even when I disagree with them, I try to respect them, and to understand their point of view. Even when it seems insane to me. I can ALWAYS be wrong. I'm in no way, perfect. However, in this matter of "UNFREEDOM of the PRESS"? I'm NOT wrong. You will LOVE this book. You will gain immense understanding and insight. I give this book, my HIGHEST Recommendation. BUY THIS BOOK.

I repeat, DO NOT & I mean DO NOT listen to the terrible reviews on this page. Those people either did NOT read the book at all or never gave it a chance. Mark references and sources ALL of his work. Something a lot of journalist do not do anymore. Most of these negative reviews are probably people who watch FAKE NEWS CNN. This book is fantastic. It’s well written. He exposes a lot of the main issues we are facing with today’s modern news media and journalism as a whole. This book is great for any die-hard conservative like myself. If you are a Republican, a must read!

The free press was once trusted to provide news that was designed to inform the public. Journalists used to be trusted by the majority of us to put out information that was impartial and non-partisan. Where the news was biased, that bias was stated and acknowledged. All that has changed with the advent of the modern media. Large organisations, owned by the very wealthy, now have given up on reporting factual and objective information. Instead, they attempt to indoctrinate the public by pursuing a political agenda and world view that benefits their very rich patrons. Mark Levin exposes the difference between the largely trusted free press of old, and the modern ‘fake news’ media. Based on his knowledge of the American constitution, he shows how the free press used to keep political excesses in check. It used to be part of the checks and balances that kept politicians honest and served democracy. This regulatory function has all but disappeared with the modern media, which has become the mouthpiece of one political party – the ironically-named, Democratic party. With a ‘globalist’, anti-Trump agenda, it gives a free pass to Democrats when they engage in nefarious activities, while reporting negatively and even making up dishonest stories about Republicans. The betrayal of trust of the public is vast and undermines the very nature of democracy, where there is a vital need for a free press.

Only Mark Levin could get so much history, analysis and passion into so few pages. You need to read this.

Arrived in good condition and was a good read!

Great book. How on earth are we to see the matters in this book aired on main stream media? The sad answer is we are not. There is a need for an awakening, and the solution is to use the ballot box in a free transparent voting system. Oh dear, I just remembered, we don’t have one of those anymore. Perhaps those who run the Courts should have mandatory lessons explaining the Constitution.
