Title: Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias: Why the Press Gets So Much WrongAnd Just Doesnt Care

Author: Ari Fleischer

Narrator: Charles Constant

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:39:39

Language: English

Release date: 07-12-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Current Affairs, American Politics, Public Policy

Summary:

Russian collusion. The lab-leak theory. The Hunter Biden laptop. Mostly peaceful protests. What if Americas 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. Americas 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.

Todays mainstream media is dominated by college-educated Democratic voters who write stories for other college-educated Democrats. These journalists havent 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. Its worse than that. It comes naturally to the media because theyre too much alikethey have a diversity problem.

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

Length: 8:13:42

Language: English

Release date: 07-12-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Politics, World, Social Science, Political Advocacy

Summary:

Spanning from the nations earliest years through the New Deal to the Covid pandemic, a groundbreaking work that interrogates how pivotal decisions have established and continued discriminatory practices in the United States, even as the rise of disinformation and other modern advertising techniques have plunged democracy into an ever-deepening crisis. 

Throughout our nations history, numerous racialized decisions have solidified the fates of generations of citizens of color. Some of the earliest involved race-based slavery, the removal of Indigenous peoples from their lands, and the exclusion of most Asians. More have proliferated over time. While America grew into a superpower in the twentieth century, it continued to discriminate against people of colorboth soldiers who served overseas and civilians on the home front, herding Japanese Americans into internment camps during World War II and denying Black citizens their right to vote. 

American Politicians have waxed eloquently and endlessly about bettering the nation. But bettering it for whom? journalist and cultural commentator Ellis Cose asks. From Reconstruction to the New Deal to the unceasing fight for civil rights, Cose reveals how the hopes of many Americans for a true multicultural democracy have been repeatedly frustrated by white nationalists skilled at weaponizing racial anxieties of other whites. 

In Race and Reckoning Cose dissects chapter-by-chapter how Americas overall narrative breeds racial resentment rooted in conjecture over fact. Through rigorous research and with astute detail, Cose uncovers how, at countless points in history, Americas leaders have upheld a narrative of American greatness rooted in racism. It is a story grounded in history, and it demolishes the myths that ultimately allowed one of the most ill-prepared, unethical, vindictive, and truth-challenged politicians in history to position himself as Americas savior by tapping into the nations darkest tendencies.
