Unfreedom of the Press

In Unfreedom of the Press, Mark R. Levin argues that the tradition of American free press has deteriorated into a profession lacking in reportorial integrity and objective journalism.

The book takes readers on a historical journey through the early American patriot press, the early Republic, and the evolution of the press during the Progressive Era and the 20th century.

Levin critiques the modern press for its partisan alignment and hypocrisy in claiming objectivity while engaging in biased reporting.

He also references historical self-examinations of the media, such as the Hutchins Commission, to underscore the long-standing issues within the press.

The book is notable for its extensive use of primary sources to illustrate media biases and inaccuracies.
