Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

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.

Alex Marlow was just a 21-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.

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. Alex 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 rips back the curtain on the inner workings of how the establishment media weaponizes information to achieve their political and cultural ends.

Everyone should read this book...

More than enough information to prove the corruption of the Mainstream Media and the political class it supports. Explains why now more than ever people need to get their news and support non-mainstream media.

Breaking Down Lies!

if your not well versed with the real news based on facts, then this book will really help you come up to speed. for years I just watched the regular news on TV and thought it must be mostly true. unfortunately it's not, so I've spent the last 3 years listening to true journalists like Alex Marlow, which helped me understand the fake narrative the left is peddling. some of the content I was already aware of, but this book does break down other stories I was not aware of. The fact that Laurene Powell Jobs took her husband's money and bought the Atlantic news outlet! so her narrative is left and then left some more, and not true journalism. facts like that are worth your time and money to help understand the deception being pushed on you everyday. the book is loaded with research and can become a bit of a long study in a news format. remember you'll never learn it otherwise, so sit back and open your mind to truth! you'll be glad you did.

Great insight to the corruption.

this book has opened my eyes and will serve as a great reference to events that can easily be forgotten in time. with the far left creating propaganda on a daily basis one can clearly see how events of 2020 can be buried and forgotten. I'm glad we have brave people like Alex to expose these traitors and to keep us informed as the years go by. we need this information to stay fresh in our minds for 2022 and 2024. we the people will stand proud of our country and drive a point to take our country back. brietbart will lead the way....

An Insightful Look at the Media’s Manipulations!

Well organized and thorough. Both political parties are chastised for their concerted effort to protect big incestuous media and tech. First Amendment is being manipulated to channel thought and restrict the alternative to the mainstream mantra. Anyone who is of voting age should not only listen but understand. Certainly makes Orwell’s masterpiece “1984” look prophetical versus fiction.

Alex Marlow is brilliant!

Marlow's reading and impressions of Trump and others make this an instant classic.
The media is corrupt and Marlow lays it out like an artist painting a picture.
A must read for everyone.

Nails the Democrat media complex

Reminds me of portions of “Righteous Indignation” from Marlow’s late friend Andrew Breitbart, glad Marlow took the time to narrate it himself sometimes a bad narrator ruins a good book and this is a great book

Spectacular Truth!

Buy it before they ban it. This is 10 hours of truth and the author very succinctly points out numerous issues and the hypocrisy behind the left and their media lapdogs. This is a crazy world that we live in. This book shows you just how crazy. Having lived through all of the recent events only makes it more relevant.
