About this audiobook
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.

27 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5America knows all of what was written in this book. Now we just need to admit it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Very disappointing. Sorry, but this is not an exposition of important truths. It is a stream of conspiracy theories and paranoia that, at times, borders on the bizarre. It does not contribute to the cause of truth and democracy but rather adds to the damage being done by the propagation of distrust and misinformation.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Tedious and circuitous.
We’ll-intended, but almost randomly wandering.
Wrap up topics more succinctly. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Marlow is preaching to the choir, but his words need to be heard by the tens of millions of Americans who are completely in the dark about the left’s war on dissent and our Constitution
