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

This may be one of the greatest books of our time, dealing with an issue haunting this country, for decades. We hear pundits on TV, telling us that the media is "slated left", some can get honest enough to state what they really are: leftists, who's ideology is in lock-step, with the Progressive/Democratic-Socialist (oxymoron's anyone?), party. They tell us "This is just the way it is". Really? WHY? Are they they only party in this country? NO. So, why is this "Just the way it is"? This should be criminal.
Our Founding Fathers, saw the importance of the Press. They have the power they have, so that they may INFORM Americans, with OUT bias, with OUT their ideology, effecting their reporting, so that, the AMERICAN PEOPLE, can make the BEST decisions they can, no matter their party, or standing in life, for themselves, their families, and for the future, of this great country.
Today, I have hope, once again, that we may just be able to get back to, TRUTH IN JOURNALISM. Mark Levin gives us TRUTH, backed up by FACTS, with all the references you will need, to defend your stance for a FREE and UNBIASED Press.
If you see a one star review? If you see so-called "Professionals", who are attempting to destroy the importance of this book? They are LYING to you. I give you MY WORD. What they are doing, is giving you THEIR biased, ideological OPINIONS. They are NOT based on fact. They are based on EMOTION.
BUY THIS BOOK. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. I stake my reputation as one who attempts to review everything I read, see, or experience, with as much honesty and truth, as I can. I have NO desire, to deceive anyone, for my own ideological or political ends. Ever.
I love my country. I love my countrymen. ALL of them. Even when I disagree with them, I try to respect them, and to understand their point of view. Even when it seems insane to me. I can ALWAYS be wrong. I'm in no way, perfect.
However, in this matter of "UNFREEDOM of the PRESS"? I'm NOT wrong. You will LOVE this book. You will gain immense understanding and insight. I give this book, my HIGHEST Recommendation. BUY THIS BOOK.

By late 2015/early 2016 when Republican debates were in full swing, we both were drawn to Trump as he displayed the qualities of grit, endurance, and resilience -the same qualities we identified with and embraced, for our survival. One day, unexpectedly, our dog stepped on the tv converter and the channel switched to Fox News. We watched this new channel for awhile and realized that the network we had been watching-CNN-had been feeding us their very slanted, biased, and toxic version of the very man (Trump) who gave us a glimmer of hope that our lives could be better, and that prosperity and happiness were in reach.
But our hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow were being soiled and trampled upon by the main stream media on a daily basis. They were going all out to try and ruin our President’s life, as well as the lives of his supporters, including ourselves. The darkness from which we had emerged, was slowly creeping back in our lives as we couldn’t escape the negative news coverage that was on our tv, in the newspaper, and all over the internet 24 hours a day. Currently we avoid the toxic news sources, and keep our distance from the poisonous MSM when possible (except Fox). I was thrilled when we received our book a few days ago.
I cried as I started reading “Unfreedom of the Press”, because Mark has made sense of the hit job the Press has done on our President, and in turn us and his fellow supporters. The book puts everything in perspective, and sheds light on what was, and what should be (the role of the Press). Mark does an an amazing job sharing historical context and stories, connecting dots, and most of all exposing the failure of the today’s Press. This book has validated what we already suspected, and has been very enlightening.
I highly recommend reading this book. We will be getting the audio version for my husband.

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.
