Unfreedom of the Press Hardcover – May 21, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press. Levin shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within: “not government oppression or suppression,” he writes, but self-censorship, group-think, bias by omission, and passing off opinion, propaganda, pseudo-events, and outright lies as news.
With the depth of historical background for which his books are renowned, Levin takes the reader on a journey through the early American patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, 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 the other.
It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the twentieth 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.Age range:Adult

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The most important book of 2019 — and 2020... Mark Levin hits it out of the park every single time. He is the Babe Ruth of freedom. " —The American Spectator
"Levin's finest work." —Joel Pollak, Breitbart
“Mark Levin trounces the news media.” –The Washington Times
"Superb and timely...[Unfreedom of the Press] will in the future be an important historical source for this extraordinary period." —Roger Simon, PJ Media
“Nails it exactly…truer words could not be spoken.” –Jeffrey Lord, The American Spectator
“For clear-thinking Americans, Levin’s book comes along in the right place, at the right time.” –Craig Shirley, syndicated columnist
PRAISE FOR MARK LEVIN
"Millions have been inspired by Levin to be missionaries for liberty. Levin is too modest to accept the label of hero, but to lead the reawakening of constitutionalism and to shape a mass movement around it is a Herculean feat.… There simply is no comparable mind on the side of the Left."—Spyridon Mitsotakis, Daily Wire
"Those who only know Mark Levin for his radio program or his Sunday night show on Fox News are missing out on one of conservatism’s best writers. Levin’s books offer detailed, fleshed out renderings of the arguments he makes on his shows. They’re punchy, witty, and easily digestible." —The Federalist
"I was introduced to Levin when I was a young high schooler who knew and cared little about politics. Until, one day, my friend showed me a video of Mark Levin. That day my life was changed. He persuaded me to dedicate my life to fighting for freedom. In addition to his great work, Mark must be recognized for creating an army of energized freedom fighters that will continue to promote the cause long into the future."—Elliot Fuchs, Daily Wire
"... [The] Fox News program "Life Liberty & Levin," hosted by Mark Levin ... is more intellectual than anything produced on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC. Nothing they have on air comes even close."—Brent Bozell, Media Research Center
“…Mark Levin was officially inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, and one wonders what took so long. His induction was presented by fellow Hall of Famers Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and the three figures comprise what can accurately be described as the talk radio 'Mount Rushmore.'"—Larry O'Connor, The Washington Times
“A warrior of the right of longstanding…simply calling Levin a radio talk show host or a Fox TV host is like calling Nolan Ryan just another pitcher.” –Craig Shirley, syndicated columnist

Recently, you interviewed a Physiatrist, Dr. Bandy X Lee’s about her book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" written along with her team of 27-physiotherapists condemning President Trump by analyzing his metal stability and fitness to serve as president. Theirs was an obvious attack to justify their beliefs explained by Dr. Lee’s mousy little voice on how they know best. It reminded me of Dr. Ford’s lying testimony. I purchased Lee’s book and left a review, but it was Blocked by you know who. So, here is it again and maybe it will get through this time for your readers to determine what’s fair and just.
"The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," by Dr. Bandy X Lee
“Their ends will justify their means”
“I encourage everyone to read or listen to this book and wake-up because "their ends will justify their means.’”
“It’s courageous professionals like yourself that will save the world against insane people. Your book is a red flag warning at the highest levels of government and necessary? You have put up with death threats from “deplorables” and now, you’ll need a “red army” to protect your wellbeing and for the value of these essays. President Xi can do amazing things after he waits out Trump and defeats him because he sees the Media with the same objectives. Xi’s plan will wreak the American economy because the so-called rich elites are dumb people. Xi is no friend of Donald J. Trump and Xi will win with your help because you are a good little Chinese comrade. Is that racist? I don’t believe racism is a metal disorder.”
“Chairman Mao and Joseph Stalin successfully used psychiatry and state doctors with specialized training to punish, incarcerate and mass murder their political enemies; and even Hitler used mental justification to enact his “final solution.” They once called themselves humanists (like yourself), democrat & national socialists and the worker’s party. You know best because evil has rid the world of over 100 million deplorables and we’re on the way too, with over 60 million legal abortions and thereby, only killing tissue is your sin of the flesh of not knowing.”
“Your hatred isn’t on Trump, it’s on our Country! You would rather tear our country apart, and force us, “We the People” to go along with your dangerous rituals to rebuild America based on your ignorant beliefs and your latent agendas. God won’t allow this to happen no matter how twisted your free-will is.”
“Let Trump do his job because he loves this Country and you do not because the “science is settled,” so to speak. Trump is still winning even up against a corrupt Media, the Hollywood sycophants and creeps like yourself that are causing real damages. You would rather pontificate over your narrative instead of telling the truth.” How stupid do you think we are?
“Your ego runs rampant without having any ethical standards, moral beliefs or the guts to tell the truth but you would rather insult our intelligence, lead us into your abyss while you attempt to control us by your narrative. You offer nothing, claim you know best through fear mongering and dream up nonessentially hypotheses that are only within God’s divine providence. It’s your jealousy of Trump that precedes you and your hatred will eat at you from within.”
“This essay is from a real insane person, like myself, but I would rather be insane than follow your persuasions.”
Woke-up America,

Woke-up America,
A reader…
Many of us have never been effectually educated so as to understand that we, as a people, own the Bill of Rights. It belongs neither to our Government or to the media. The First Amendment belongs to us. The media is allowed to use it but has no Constitutional right to misuse it. The First Amendment ensures that the media will remain free from government coercion and interference so as to unbiasedly serve you and I. Our Constitutional Framers, doubled down to ensure that the press would remain free from coercion so it could, freely, serve us, the American people. The Framers, who safeguarded us from the government they established, certainly would never want the press to become compromised by any other powerful influences with less than noble intentions. That would constitute unfreedom of the press and would effectively defeat the very purpose of the First Amendment. The media was designed to be our servant and never our master. A media which abuses power is no different from a government which abuses power. The media certainly has a right to an opinion but they have absolutely no Constitutional right to create evidence and facts, or ignore such, to support their opinions. That would constitute a major abuse of power and trust. Sadly, and unfortunately, the media, far too often, is the chief architect of disinformation and that is not what the First Amendment is about.
The recent Gallup poll suggesting that 4 out of 10 Americans support socialism, despite the fact that, as a people, they enjoy a robust economy, that affords them a lifestyle which the rest of the World, and especially socialist countries, enviously only dream about, is no accident. How did that happen? Read the book and wonder no more. The fact that Americans are giving up core cultural values, which have sustained them and their families, for centuries, and are adopting countercultural ideologies, which have an international historical record of dismal failure, is no accident. How did that happen? Read the book and find out. If you wonder why, and how, our government has transformed itself from one that safeguards the liberty we were born with, so we can live our lives and pursue our dreams the way we wish, into one that authoritatively dictates what we may, and may not do, using laws, statutes and regulations, read the book and you will wonder no more.
Levin points out that many in the media know that they are promoting outright lies and/or omitting glaring truths supported by unequivocal facts and evidence. They frame a narrative so that only one side is portrayed in the same fashion that prosecutors address a Grand Jury. An outstanding example is given using Nazism. Adolf Hitler could never have existed without the media support from Joseph Goebbels who held a doctorate in literature and a passion for journalism. Furthermore, the Holocaust, the unforgivable blight upon humankind’s history, was virtually ignored by the NY Times despite its otherwise very extensive coverage of the war. Not to be prejudicial the Times gave equal minimal coverage to Stalin’s ruthless Ukrainian genocide.
Today’s media outlets attempt to manipulate public opinion just the way lawyers attempt to manipulate a jury. They often do so as arrogant elitists, believing that the public will accept whatever they write as gospel even when they are often seen as entirely illogical. Today, more often than not, they are about Party affiliation than they are about truth, facts, and evidence. Entrusted with informing the public with the truth they are often the ones most responsible for intellectual slavery. That is their intended goal and it is the author’s goal to counter that purpose and again make us aware of what Mark Twain wrote over a century ago… ‘If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed.’ If Mark Twain were alive today he would give this book a resounding five-star review just the way I did. Get it, read it, understand it and you will love becoming a whole lot smarter!

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.
