Synopsis

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.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Linda on July 14, 2022

Because I get my news from a variety of sources that include liberal, conservative, moderate and European, most of the information in Ari Fleischer’s new book isn’t new to me. It is shocking, overwhelming and AGGRAVATING to read it all at once. Fleischer has done a great job organizing a massive amou......more

Goodreads review by Richard on September 17, 2022

If you’ve paid attention to the news over the past 30 or so years (the real news not the fake CNN/NY Times-style “news”), you’ve heard most of what Ari Fleischer covers in this book. BUT, he relates the stories very well, and it is useful to have them all in one place. It reminds us of how many fake......more

Goodreads review by Ed on August 03, 2022

Accurate but not objective. I did enjoy this book. It confirmed and provided support to my a!or already formed opinions. However it did not address the counter arguments that fox news is in the tank for Trump just as much as the rest of the media is actively against him. People need to watch multiple......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on December 14, 2022

An interesting argument on how the news media has changed over the past 20 years. Good reminders to consider the bias of your news sources. Regardless of your political leanings, this is worth a read.......more
