Unfredom of the Press

              I recommend Mark Levin’s book, Unfreedom of the Press, but I must warn you that it is not a light or an easy read.  The facts it holds are totally accurate and supported with 28 pages of footnotes. 

        The seven chapters are:

1.   News as a Political and Ideological Activism

2.   The Early Patriot Press

3.   The Modern Democratic Press

4.   The Real Threat to Press Freedom

5.   News, Propaganda, and Pseudo-Events

6.   The New York Times Betrays Millions

7.   The Truth About Collusion, Abuse of Power, and Character

Levin’s closing paragraph in the book is: 

Therefore, as I said in the opening, this book is intended to, among other things, “jump-start a long overdue and hopefully productive dialogue among the American citizenry on how best to deal with the complicated and complex issue of the media’s collapsing role as a bulwark of liberty, the civil society, and republicanism.”

        When I was in school, I was taught good journalism was the four Ws of Who, What, When, and Where.  There was no why, interpretation, or opinion.  After I have listened to a speech, I find it insulting to have some talking-head tell me their interpretation of it.  I am capable of making my own conclusions.

        Today most journalists don’t report the news.  They have their own political agendas and then look for stories that support them.  If they can’t find those stories, they manufacture some.

        One of the biggest lies is how the press avoids any news that does not support their political agenda.  These omissions are an indirect lie.  Levin gives some great examples, including the REAL science on climate change that is totally ignored by the media.

        Our founding fathers felt a free press was essential to ensuring the survival of our democratic republic.  Today, many journalists have become the propaganda arm of globalists, and the left. They no longer report the news. 

        I am a news junky.  I used to watch two or three of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX every morning.  I first dropped NBC after Obama was elected as it became the the government station.  Next I quit watching MSNBC, and CNN when they became the propaganda arm of the left.  I still watch ABC and CBS for local news, but even that is so slanted that I often have to change the channel in disgust.  That leaves only FOX for “Fair and Balanced” reporting.

        Why would anyone believe anything from a media that calls the world’s #1 terrorist a “religious scholar”, or calls our crisis at the border “manufactured” when it is costing 70,000 American lives every year, or defames a young man wearing a MAGA cap who has done nothing wrong, or support an attorney for a so-called whistle blower who tweeted years ago that he was working towards a coup to impeach President Trump and CNN would play an important role. 

        I understand that people (including me) don’t like to admit when they are wrong, but at some point rational people have to get over the Trump Derangement Syndrome and accept the results of the 2016 election.  This illegal coup to overthrow an election, the Constitution, and the vote of the people must stop.

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

If you don’t see that, then you’re part of the problem.”
