About this audiobook

Six-time New York Times bestselling author, FOX News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin “trounces the news media” (The Washington Times) in this timely and groundbreaking book demonstrating how the great tradition of American free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has squandered the faith and trust of the public.

Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press. In “Levin’s finest work” (Breitbart), he shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within—not through actions of government officials, but with its own abandonment of reportorial integrity and objective journalism.

With the depth of historical background for which his books are renowned, Levin takes you on a journey through the early American patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is 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 another.

It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the 20th 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.

Editor's Note

On opinions and objectivity…

No matter where you fall on the Democrat and Republican blue-red spectrum, you’re probably lamenting how the programs that are supposed to be providing objective news are instead full of propagandic opinions. Fox News host Mark Levin looks at how American news reportage has shifted over the centuries, starting with the country’s founding.

    A well researched book on the collapse of an objective press. As the press moves further from objective reporting to opinion reporting on the front page the more they lose credibility. It has gotten to the point I rarely read any newspaper or watch television news because of their credibility issues. I have caught them in too many lies about events I witnessed. Levin has done the world a great service with this work...SLT

    What an excellent exposé into the current press. Sadly this is the state of the free and 'unfree' press world over.

    Mark, you're a rare gem. Kudos.

    The author has obviously political bias amd strongly defends Trump. Stopped listening right after this part.

    Not a particularly easy read, but one full of facts, figures, quotes and, most importantly, perspective. Even suffering for "news cycle" overload, I found "Unfreedom of the Press" filled with historical and political background that is routinely skirted by the 24/7 news outlets.

    Mark R Levin's hard hitting book on the collapse of the firewall between the press & government goes between the eyes. It is a careful expose of the press' inexplicable unity with one political party & against another political party. This unity, the author believes, endangers the press' original role expressed by the founding fathers to keep the public informed & to keep watch on abuse & corruption from government & its officials. By the use of propaganda, deliberate & intentional misinformation & selective journalism, Mr. Levin warns that the press' siding with one side only serves to divide the public from the real danger of the continuing abuse & corruption within the government. Thus the credibility of the press is unavoidably destroyed. The question remains, How & can the press restore confidence? The current situation existing in which journalism has become repeating talking points rather than attempting to get at the root of what is going on leaves the public skeptical of what is being portrayed on Cable, Internet, & Newspapers. One hint to the problem is that most of the press, according to the author is owned by less than 7 corporations. Another is that many so called journalists are actually partisan hacks with no training in journalism. The reviews on the book by the very press he excoriates, end up proving his point failing to read the actual book while writing reviews on the very book they are too lazy to bother reading in the first place.
