The Amazon blurb says that From the editor in chief of Breitbart News, a firsthand account of how the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and his supporters on behalf of the political left.

From 2015 on, the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and his supporters on behalf of the political left—this is not how democracies are supposed to work

Alex Marlow was just a twenty-one-year-old UC Berkeley student when renowned media mogul Andrew Breitbart hired him as his first employee. Breitbart began mentoring Marlow on how to fight the culture war one headline at a time and to remain resilient in the face of personal attacks.

Now, in this eye-opening and timely book, 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.

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

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.

The establishment press destroyed its own credibility with a relentless stream of “fake news” designed to smear Donald Trump and his supporters

Alex Marlow and his team of researchers elucidate the stunning details of the key “fake news” moments of the Trump era and take a deep dive into some of the right’s favorite media targets: from Bloomberg, CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times to the tech elite in Silicon Valley. Deeply researched and eye-opening, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption rips back the curtain on the inner workings of how the establishment media weaponizes information to achieve their political and cultural ends. See The Tyranny of Big Tech.

Seeing the way Big Tech censors conservative ideas, opinions and authors, the conservatives realized that the Big Tech moguls have joined the corrupt ranks of leftist mainstream media, so from all this arose Fox News, Newsmax, and Breitbart News

Marlow says "I believed the time was ripe for a center-right news organization to emerge that would hold the powers that be accountable, to tell the stories the establishment wouldn't, and to hunt down the scoops “respectable journalists” didn’t have the interest (or balls) to track down themselves. It seemed clear to me right away that Andrew was the exact person to do it.

Andrew Breitbart

"He had the brains, the experience, and the intensity. He also had a terrific sense of humor, a thick skin, and seemingly endless stores of energy. His website was going to have a unique attribute at the time that I found incredibly compelling: while still focusing on truth and accurate reporting. We were going to state our biases openly and allow consumers to judge us accordingly. . . .

While still focusing on truth and accurate reporting, Breitbart was going to state its rightwing biases openly and allow consumers to judge them accordingly

What might be a surprise is the extent to which the establishment media has so clearly put their agenda ahead of the truth

"But what might be a surprise is the extent to which the establishment media has so clearly put their agenda ahead of the truth. Breitbart is far from the only group of people smeared by a belligerent media class. Recall some of these classics from my personal Fake News Hall of Shame:

Antifa terrorists have assaulted both KKK members and Nazis in the U.S. and Europe since 2010

"THE CHARLOTTESVILLE HOAX

The media insists to this day that President Trump said that neo-Nazis were “very fine people” after the protests and riots that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. The lie stems from a press conference held on infrastructure at Trump Tower on August 15; toward the end of the presser, a reporter questioned Trump as to whom he blamed for the violence that day, considering that neo-Nazis were in attendance. [Trump explained that the group didn't claim to be neo-Nazis, which had some very bad people in their group and should be condemned, but in general the protest was about removing a statue beloved by the protesters.] This was all the media needed to claim that Trump is literally a Nazi [, a ludicrous claim].

"The exploration of Bloomberg’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the incestuous nature of legacy media outlets with America’s corporate boardrooms was well worth the price of admission. I highly recommend Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption." (Source: Book Review: “Breaking The News” by Alex Marlow, Michael Ross Greenberg)

"Ownership of America’s largest news media companies by complex conglomerates creates conflicts of interest in news media reporting, Marlow noted in an interview with Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.

Reporters are under constant pressure to ensure they are not putting up a story that conflicts with one of the vested interests of their giant conglomerate

"He identified integration of news media outlets into multi-billion-dollar corporations as a cause of deepening industry corruption beyond bad faith claims of political neutrality.

"Parents companies of large news media properties weaponize their assets to enforce compliance with their business interests, Marlow held.

"“Now, the enforcers of the anti-science mask mandates will be the corporations, because the corporations are getting increasingly left and increasingly woke,” he remarked. “Most of the world seems to be pretty coached up on [the fact] that the establishment media is biased to the left. They have a liberal bias.”

"Journalistic outlets are under constant pressure to ensure they are not “putting up a story that conflicts with one of the vested interests of their giant conglomerate,” Marlow stated.

Reporters of the mainstream media must toe the party line of liberal narrative, parroting the leftist agenda

"Boyle highlighted the impossibility of political objectivity in news media. He encouraged news media outlets to be transparent with their political biases and end deceptive presentations to the contrary."

"In my new book, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, I explain in detail that the New York Times’ “1619 Project” was never an accurate historical account, but in fact it was a part of a concerted effort by the Times to pivot the newsroom’s focus from the Trump/Russia collusion hoax to race hysteria. . . . I also argue that in our current “cancel culture” moment, the “1619 Project” easily meets the definition of “fake news” and fits the textbook definition of disinformation.

The left's woke, cancel culture agenda has laid ugly woke propaganda and fake news on us (the left lies and the media swears to it) until we are all choking on misinformation

"After the Mueller Report, the New York Times was in trouble. The paper of record needed a replacement for RussiaGate, into which the Times had (profitably) poured millions of dollars. The Times rode the Trump wave to record highs, reporting $24 million in profit in 2018. But when the Russia narrative finally flamed out, the newsroom was without a clear direction."

When the Russia-collusion narrative finally flamed out, the NY Times newsroom was without a clear direction, so it conjured up the lying, racist, desperate 1619 Project, by far the ugliest desperation measure they've ever sunk to

"Recall that criticism of the “1619 Project” by white historians was rejected specifically because of the critics’ race." [Which is the very definition of RACISM.] (Source: Alex Marlow: Cancel the New York Times’ ‘1619 Project’ for Disinformation, newsbinding)

". . . the Breitbart ethos established in 2007 by the departed Andrew Breitbart was intended as a counterpoint to the overwhelming liberal bent of mainstream news.

"This means that Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption is not going to be a balanced look at bias in media, but rather a book focused on bias in liberal, or mainstream, media and the corruption of said media by corporate and partisan interests.

This is the racist bias Leftists innundate media, colleges, social media, and Hollyweird with as an indirect attempt at grabbing power permanently

"But that was the point of Breitbart News. Andrew Breitbart made no bones about being balanced, he saw the media landscape as a battleground and he was prepared for war.

As such, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption is a well documented and in many ways devastating indictment of the liberal press. He reveals their claims to neutrality to be the preposterous fiction everyone knows them to be and exposes the extent to which said media uses its influence to snuff out competing voices like Breitbart."

The Establishment and its corrupt media lapdogs/propagandists virtue signal, lie, smear, and engage in influence peddling in an egregious campaign of corruption to push the country toward Marxist socialism and tyrannical liberal elite powermongering

[Breaking The News, Exposing The Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption] "blows the lid off the corruption of the establishment media and demonstrates the deep-rooted connections between well-known media conglomerates and influential left-wing giants, showing how they work hand in hand to promote fake news narratives while burying stories deemed inconvenient to their greater cause, advancing their efforts to manipulate the masses."

In They Live, through control of the media, the hostile invaders were able to control the population by inducing a sort of semi-conscious state, turning humans into unthinking, unquestioning, unmotivated, zombie-like cattle. SOUND FAMILIAR? In 2021, liberal elites have taken over education, Hollyweird, academia, mainstream media, and Big Tech so they can rule in a liberal fascism dystopia with an equality pretense

Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media's Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption is a well documented and merciless indictment of the liberal media. He reveals their claims to neutrality to be the ridiculous fiction which everyone knows them to be, and he exposes the extent to which liberal mainstream media uses its influence to snuff out competing voices like Fox News, Newsmax, and Breitbart. The left wants to render impotent the nonliberal press as it does the same to Republicans and conservatives. Fox News, Newsmax, and Breitbart challenge them and expose their malevolent plots. And it is working, since Fox News gets the best ratings, Newsmax is the fastest growing network, and Breitbart calls the liberals on their lies and smears.
