In "Unfreedom of the Press," Mark R. Levin embarks on a critical exploration of the modern media landscape, unearthing the root causes that have led to what he perceives as the erosion of journalistic integrity and freedom. Levin argues that the contemporary press, far from being an unbiased purveyor of facts, has succumbed to internal pressures: self-censorship, group-think, and a troubling blend of omission and commission in reporting, which together threaten the very essence of a free press. He contends that today's news outlets frequently blur the lines between news and opinion, presenting a distorted reality shaped by ideological biases rather than objective truth. Levin draws upon a rich historical tapestry, tracing the evolution of American journalism from its fervently partisan origins in the nascent stages of the Republic, through to the emergence of a more detached, ostensibly objective media stance in the Progressive Era. Yet, he suggests, this veneer of objectivity masks a deep-seated allegiance to ideological narratives, undermining the press's role as a watchdog of democracy. "Unfreedom of the Press" is not merely a critique but a call to recognize and confront the internal and external forces that have led the press astray from its foundational principles of truth and freedom, articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Through Levin's lens, readers are invited to reconsider the role of the press in a democratic society and the path forward to reclaiming its integrity and purpose.

Unlike the early patriot press, today’s newsrooms and journalists are mostly hostile to America’s founding principles, traditions, and institutions. They do not promote free speech and press freedom, despite their self-serving and self-righteous claims. Indeed, they serve as societal filters attempting to enforce uniformity of thought and social and political activism centered on the progressive ideology and agenda. Issues, events, groups, and individuals that do not fit the narrative are dismissed or diminished; those that do fit the narrative are elevated and celebrated.
— Mark R. Levin, Unfreedom of the Press
