Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption Hardcover – May 18, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
From the editor in chief of Breitbart News, a firsthand account of how the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and his supporters on behalf of the political left.
Alex Marlow was just a twenty-one-year-old UC Berkeley student when renowned media mogul Andrew Breitbart hired him as his first employee. Breitbart began mentoring Marlow on how to fight the culture war one headline at a time and to remain resilient in the face of personal attacks.
Now, in this eye-opening and timely book, 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. Alex and his team of researchers elucidate the stunning details of the key “fake news” moments of the Trump era and take a deep dive into some of the right’s favorite media targets: from Bloomberg, CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times to the tech elite in Silicon Valley. 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.

Free speech has become a freedom that is quickly shrinking. It is chilling when there are even some of the folks on the left side of the aisle start to comment on this freedom, one that has been enshrined since the beginning of this country. And while we have always seen different viewpoints emit from various news sources (and isn’t that what we want, the freedom to say what you believe?), never before has there been the unabashed choice to apply the media to squash those who think differently.
Author Alex Marlow exposes the corruption within the establishment media and the determination to eliminate conservative voices. If you are one of those, you will recognize most of the examples in “Breaking the News.” Mr. Marlow digs deep into each chapter, offering more background that you may not have been aware of. Chapters expose the influence of those in print media, the Internet, the airways, and other methods used to affect the hearts and minds of Americans. The book also addresses those power brokers such as Bloomberg, Soros, and Jobs.
One expert quoted in the book estimates that the influence of Google alone in the 2020 election “could shift ten percent of the voting population of America with no one knowing they had done this…” which is a scary thought to ponder, that any election could become influenced to that degree. More than once is the specter of Orwell raised throughout the book.
Most important are the detailed notes at the end, listing all the sources. For those on the left who doubt what is written in “Breaking The News,” no one is forcing you to accept Mr. Marlow’s words without performing your own verification. If you do, I believe you will – at the very least – begin to question what the establishment media is telling you. Five stars.
