Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias

Why the Press Gets So Much Wrong—And Just Doesn’t Care

By: Ari Fleischer

Narrated by: Charles Constant

Russian collusion. The lab-leak theory. The Hunter Biden laptop. Mostly peaceful protests. What if America’s misinformation problem is coming from inside the mainstream media?

Fox contributor Ari Fleischer says most Americans live in a media-created fantasyland. Never before have we been so information-rich yet so poorly informed. America’s liberal media keeps getting the news wrong.

In Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias, Fleischer notes that half the country is keenly aware that they are routinely mocked and looked down on by much of the media. The disdain shown by too many reporters for too many Americans is a major reason our nation is polarized and divided.

Today’s mainstream media is dominated by college-educated Democratic voters who write stories for other college-educated Democrats. These journalists haven’t just slanted the media; they take sides in our debates and are too often activists for a cause. There is no secret meeting where liberals decide how to slant the news. There is no central source of propaganda. It’s worse than that. It comes naturally to the media because they’re too much alike—they have a diversity problem.

It’s time the press faced up to why so few people trust them and why they’ve been losing viewers and readers for decades. Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias is the reckoning they will never do on their own.

A good read

I enjoyed listening to this book. It filled in many pieces of news stories that you only heard that we're biased. It was worse than I thought. Again, it made me wonder how Trump ever made it through all the damage that the biased media put on him. No one should believe the press again until they reform themselves, which is unlikely. They are too entrenched elitist who doesn't believe in the truth.

Ta;lk Abut Mind Control!

I think we have all suspected that we have been manipulated but this well-researched, comprehensive book shows us just how much we are. The most you can say about the media is that they are so biased they don't even know they are. Thanks to Ari Fleischer for doing such a superb job of research to help us at least be more aware of the games being played with our minds.

Enlightening analysis of today’s media

I found this book to be extremely informative regarding today’s combative relationship between the media and those on the right. I wish a middle ground could be reached to allow for trust in the media, but then I am a realist. True and sad.

well written

great listen. I enjoyed the plethora of relevant examples that prove his points. wish I had revived the bonus material he regularly referenced.

Great book

The source of this country’s ills can be traced to the left-wing, liberal, and biased media.
