NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR REPUBLIC
I have been a fan of Alexander Marlow since the Andrew Breitbart days. I've been listening to Breitbart News Daily every weekday morning, since its inception on SiriusXM Patriot Radio. The minute he told his listeners 'Breaking the News' was finished, I checked Amazon, and there it was - ready for pre-order. The wait was unbearable, as Alex began to reveal a few paragraphs, on his show, and appearances on other conservative shows. My book was delivered on May 18th, which is the same day the audio version he narrated was released on Audible. I had started reading the book, and although it was his voice in my head, that didn't do it justice. I signed up for Audible's free one-month trial, and started listening. It was so freaking good, I had to force myself not to finish it all in one day! As you can see from the photo, I am minutes away from the end,10 days after I started! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! 'Breaking the News' revealed everything I knew about the Fake News Media and the Dishonest Dems. The Media runs the US! The Masters of the Universe - it breaks my heart to see what's happened to my beloved country. If you listen to the Breitbart shows or follow on social media, most of this information won't come as a surprise, however, Alex did reveal some shady characters (i.e. the new Soros) that I didn't know about, who we can blame for the terrible situation they've created. I am giving a copy to my son, a brand-new father, who, while raised as a Conservative in NY, seems to have drifted a bit to the Center Left (aka 'I am on both sides, Mom!') in NYC, after my husband and I escaped to Texas just in time to vote President Trump into office. (One of the few times my vote actually counted). Thank Goodness, he and his family are now living in Texas, albeit, a little too close to Austin for my liking. Buy the book! It's excellent! Buy several books, and gift them. Give them to your liberal friends, if you have any left. Open their eyes to what they voted for. Even better, send them to the Audible website to get their one-month trial and listen for free. You actually get 2 free choices, then you can cancel. My second choice? Andrew Breitbart's primer, 'Righteous Indignation'. I read it way back when...a few times - this time I'll listen to it. Bravo, Alex Marlow. Can't wait for the 2nd book! And Alex, watch your six... seriously!
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2021
This book will make the left's heads spin as they cannot hide from the truth, nor can they refute the facts presented. The book is heavily sourced & cited, so the left will have to do their homework to debate any of it. Alex Marlow talks about being educated in the deepest of lefty territory (Hollywood, & Berkeley), to how he became the Editor in Chief for Breitbart News. He then gets right into exposing the left's use of the mainstream media to force their narratives upon the American people by gaslighting & propaganda. Many stories that you probably still believe to be true are thoroughly debunked throughout the book. From the left's constant attack on Breitbart News with baseless claims of racims, bigotry, & antisemitism; to how they shaped their narratives in coordination to attack President Trump and his 10s of millions of supporters with the same baseless lies, & falsehoods. Fake news stories like the fraudulent attacks & made up stories about Brett Kavanaugh, Juicy Smollett, Bubba "The Noose" Wallace, Charlottesville "fine people" lie, Russia/Spygate hoax, & on & on, Marlow provides all you need to debate your liberal "friends" who have no interest in the real stories about these hoaxes, and media driven narratives. If that's not enough, Marlow goes on to expose who is funding these left wing establishment media outlets, and the incestuous relationship between the Democrat party, and those at the top of multiple outlets like NBC, CNN, ABC, The Wash. Post, NY Times, & on & on. Their only goal, to bend the knee to our enemies, while lining their pockets. The establishment left does not care about you, or me. They only care about the money train from China - American values be damned. This is the kind of book they should be teaching at our indoctrination camps aka Colleges & Universities throughout America, instead of the garbage "woke" culture nonsense like the 1619 project, and various other identity politics, victimhood falsehoods, America is awful, Marxsist frauds who have no problem selling out to the highest bidders, while expecting you to give up everything. Rather than blowing this off as some "alt-right" manual for Conservatives, maybe read it liberals. Then compare what you have been forced to read & see with what is truth, or, what was retracted, & fully debunked with sourced & cited throughout the book. I doubt you'll ever sway from your indoctrinated, ideology that has NEVER worked throughout history, but at least you might learn something that you didn't know - or have been perpetually lying about since it occurred. Kavanaugh, Charlottesville, Bloomberg, BLM, NBC, Covid, and Big Tech hijacking the 2020 election, are all highlighted for you to see for yourself - how these stories were covered, and how they were all bent, and shaped, or in many cases not covered at all (propaganda by omission - hiding you from the truth) by the lying fake news media & their close relationships with the Democrat party, who's only goal is to usher in Socialism/Marxism, forcing you to go broke while hypocritically lining their own pockets with money from our enemies, & silencing decent from new media. I hope this serves as a wake up call to Conservatives across the country, & world - while providing some eye opening truth to the other side, more so those who may be independent, on the fence, or simply old-school Democrats who we may disagree with on policy, & principle, but have always banded together to support America and her values, & not Marxist, socialist, communist oppression. Did you see Chuck Todd recently melt down after Dan Crenshaw called him a 'liberal', or actually, he simply referred to the liberal news media, which "triggered" Todd for some reason. Well, now we know Chuck Todd's wife has made over 2 million dollars serving communist socialist 3 home owning Bernie Sanders! Do you really think Chuck is some objective news reporter based on that fact alone? Yet, he's allowed to pretend to be some objective, neutrual truth getter on the Sunday news programs, instead of - like Breitbart, simply embracing who he is & who he stands for. Why is that? It's sad how far the left has pushed this country down, while being supported by their useful idiots who simply see the world as 'us vs them', and that it's just 'politics as usual' comments. Ignoring the blatant racism, bigotry, sexual misconduct, & antisemitism by their party - most specifically Joe Biden and for the baseless lies against Donald Trump, The Republican Party, & their supporters. I remain optimistic that the pendulum cannot continue to sway this far to the left, and will eventually swing back in our favor with an astounding, thunderous, BOOM! I will also remain optimistic that eventually those moderates, or those independents will finally take a stand and say, "you know, I may disagree with Conservatives, or Republicans on some policy, & we can debate that as our forefathers intended; but something is clearly wrong here when those with different views are banned from social media. When the national news networks, in coordination with cable news are shaping stories that are not true to play on my emotions or flat out lying with minimal retractions, or, to make me think the worst about my political opponent by calling them the worst things you can be called with zero evidence to support these claims." Thank you Alex, and the diverse Breitbart team for providing this fantastic, quick, heavily sourced read about the truth.

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021
This is one of those political books that stands out because it should be read by those on both the left and right sides of the aisle. I’ll explain below.

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.
