SynopsisRussian 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., Remember when the med a told you: Donald Trump colluded with Russia, and the Steele dossier might be true? Trump removed blue mailboxes from street corners so that he could steal the 2020 election? Church bells rang in Paris and fireworks were set off in London to mark the might Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election? Russia secretly offered Afghan militants bounties to kill US troops? Kim Jong-un was brain dead? Melania Trump turned the Rose Garden into a neofascist parade ground? Nicholas Sandmann was a thug and Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist? COVID-19 could not possibly have originated in a lab in China? Each of these statements is wrong. All were reported to Americans by the mainstream media, a group of people who aren't neutral. They increasingly take sides. Isn't it time we asked if the real problem in America is the "news" coming from the MSM? Book jacket., Media consultant and former Bush Administration Press Secretary Ari Fleischer accuses American journalism of becoming the domain of the woke young urban elite--a class which has no respect or tolerance for dissenting views. According to Ari Fleischer, there is a new elite in America--the Journalist Class. Today's mainstream media is dominated by younger, urban college grads who write stories for younger, urban college grads. These journalists haven't just slanted the media. They've pulled the whole Democrat party over to their own worldview, he contends. This is the true source of anger in the country and the growing sense that media elites look down on everyone else. Because they do. If you're older or not urban or not a college grad, the Journalist Class doesn't think you're worth impressing. But there's a problem for progressives--the Journalist Class's point of view does not persuade enough people to win elections. Before 2016, they tried to appeal to those citizens living in what they call "flyover country," but after 2016 they began writing only for each other. The way this narrow worldview has constricted news and cultural language is intellectually impoverishing for a country as diverse and varied as the United States. In Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias Fleischer argues that the new media elite is shutting down the very conversations which we must have to bring the country back together.
