About this listen

From the editor in chief of Breitbart News, the New York Times bestselling “must-read” (Sean Hannity) investigation into how the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and his supporters on behalf of the political left.

In this timely and “important book” (Glenn Beck), Marlow explains how the establishment press destroyed its own credibility with a relentless stream of “fake news” designed to smear Donald Trump and his supporters while advancing a leftist agenda. He also reveals key details on how our information gatekeepers truly operate and why America’s “fake news” moment might never end.

Breitbart—and Trump—began banging the drum about “fake news” during the 2016 election, and it resonated with millions of voters because they intuitively knew the corporate media was willing to say or write anything to achieve their political ends. It’s a battle cry that continues to this day. Deeply researched and eye-opening, Breaking the News rips back the curtain on the inner workings of how the establishment media weaponizes information to achieve their political and cultural ends.

I've had for quite some time a general sense that the mainstream media is deeply dishonest, highly manipulative, and more interested in pushing an agenda than in telling us the facts. Well - it turns out it's much, *much* worse than I thought.

Coolly, calmly, and with an admirable tendency to under-state rather than over-state his case: Marlow meticulously documents case-study after case-study of organized, coordinated, deliberate and institutionalized lying by the established media companies: which work in close coordination with the establishment political class to trick, deceive and manipulate ordinary people in believing things they *KNEW* were plainly and simply, not true. (It's deeply creepy and Orwellian how media coverage performs perfect 180 degree turns the moment their political bosses require a 180 degree change in narrative).

What is even more sinister is the more "subtle" manipulation tactics based on misdirection, implication and diverting attention, much of which has had dire real-world consequences on the ordinary people that the media holds in such contempt.

The scale, audacity, cynicism and hypocrisy of what Marlow chronicles here left my jaw on the floor on multiple occasions, and I was *already* pretty cynical about them going in. One thing I will not be doing again is giving these people the benefit of the doubt. Ever.

The author does an excellent job of reading his own material, and somehow manages to be less angry reading it, than I got listening to it.

Eye opening, enraging, and really scary.
