Unfreedom of the Press

Unfreedom of the Press was published during the summer of 2019, this is the first book that I ever advance ordered because of radio commentary or advice. Written by Mark Levin, the book is short at only 227 pages in the hardback version. Come to think of it, this probably is not released in paperback format.
As anyone can tell from watching or listening to Mr. Levin's, the author is intelligent, well researched and passionate. The intelligence and research are evident in this offering, conveying the emotion is understandably tough to accomplish.
The history of the press's reporting of political news in the United States has ranged from newspapers and pamphleteers being openly aligned with one political party, to the practice of objective reporting which for me would be the equivalent of the scientific method. The writing work may of given themselves too mush credit because objective reporting has morphed into objective reporting with a thinly veiled alignment. In other readings, this development has paralleled the progressive movement in America, triggered by the German philosopher of the Bismarck era, and taking local form with progressive practices initiated by Woodrow Wilson and like minded politicians.
One of my favorite quotes from the book is.....

Now it is often a euphemism for the prerogative of reported to produce their synthetic commodity.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Boorstin was Librarian of Congress from 1975 to 1987, a educated man of high standing and a former communist that wrote a book titled The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events  in America.
Anyway, this a book worth reading, especially of you are a fan of the radio show.
