Description: Threshold Editions(Non-Fiction, Politics & Social Sciences) Unfreedom of the Press by Mark R. Levin Shop Villagelder's Books-N-Games From the dust jacketMark Levin provides a groundbreaking and enightening book that reveals how the great tradition of the American free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has squandered the faith and trust of the American public, not through "government opperssion of suppression," he writes, but through self-censorship, groupthink, bias by omission, and passing off opinion, propaganda, pseudi-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 outlined 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.
