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.

Title: A waste of words
Review: I have a hard time believing Levin can walk in a straight line, much less think in one. In trying to set examples and prove how the media is misrepresents events and injects their opinions, Levin does just that. He lets his own bias come before the simple logic his own examples set forth. The media are all telling the same story? It couldnât be that theyâre reporting on the same set of events. No, it has to be some grand evil conspiracy. And to prove it, Levin is going to cite irrelevant, ancient or otherwise strictly speculative examples to set a (misleading) precedent. He writes well, and one could be forgiven for thinking that this book carries a certain logic. The only problem is that itâs gravely flawed. To someone professionally educated on politics and the media, Levin is just whining because his views are not factually accurate and therefore are taking a beating by âthe conga lineâ of experts who know more in these subjects than he does. In his view, every conservative politician is credible and everyone else is a liberal propagandist. I cannot stress enough that in each of his arguments, Levin sets this ambiguous premise, supports it with a (somewhat accurate) historical example and then draws a conclusion without offering some kind of logic as to how the conclusion is supported. At no point in any of his arguments does Levin actually provide any evidence for true media/political collusion (which, if the degree to which he is suggesting is accurate, there surely would be), nor does he create a bridge between his premise and conclusion that is able to be followed. And the reason for that is there is no way to bridge flawed logic except this tactic of ambiguity. I donât think the media is perfect, nor do I think they are innocent of some level of injecting their bias into their work. Along those lines, I read this book with an open mind, willing to accept a well made argument as being valid even if it was not something I would have traditionally accepted. I did not purchase this book to bash it. That being said, Levin at no point won me over. His arguments were poor at best and his central conspiracies were as unfounded as they were unproductive. To make these claims is detrimental to the fabric of our society and while reading this book over the course of a few days I was surprised how many people saw the cover and said âI donât watch the news because I donât trust the mediaâ. If anything, this book made me feel that that is an unacceptable perspective. The inability of a well educated and passionate conservative to even remotely prove a single argument against the modern media made me confident that we are in better hands than I previously thought. Thinking in this sphere is dangerous; the inability to accept facts (even if we were wrong on them in the past or donât handle them properly in the present) has proven to be lethal in this the era of Coronavirus and Global Warming (the latter of which, Levin still attempts to dismiss in this book for some reason). While the media has been hyper reporting Climate Change and Coronavirus, they have accurately reported the facts, which is more than conservative pundits do. Levin had the chance to speak to a public that respected him and not only did he fail in his mission, he lost this readerâs lingering respect for conservative academics.

Title: Not his best work
Review: I've listened to Mark Levin for years, and have read several of his other books, which were very good. This one is pretty lame. It is just a regurgitation of examples of media bias. There is nothing new here. Unless you've been living in a cave, you're already aware of these examples. Even the writing was rather amateur. Sorry Mark, but this one's a swing and a miss.

Review: Mark Levin does a fantastic job in explaining what happened to the media in America and why they can not be trusted to tell the truth anymore.
