Forty-two ways the press hates you.

Following the successful debut of Against the Great Reset (now available in a paperback edition with a specially designed cover by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez), The Pipeline is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of the next book in our series, Against the Corporate Media: 42 Ways the Press Hates You. The book, which is available for pre-order immediately, will be available in paperback or on Kindle on September 10.

The book is dedicated to my friend, Mark Steyn, free-speech warrior. Writes New York Times best-selling author Peter Schweizer:

With a glorious collection of writers—many of them former insiders—Against the Corporate Media is the single best dissection of the major media I’ve ever seen. Read it and share a copy with a journalist friend. Highly recommended.

Adds Daniel Greenfield, vice-president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center:

No matter how much you hate the media, it’s never enough. And if you really hate the media, Against the Corporate Media is a no-holds barred takedown of a corrupt media establishment that lies, cheats and destroys good people by some of the best in the business.

In short, we've tried to expose the shortcomings of the monolithic media in as many ways as possible. So please check back with us frequently during the next eight weeks as we take you into the heart of darkness that is the corrupt, dishonest and almost completely untrustworthy American and international media, including print, broadcast, and cable. Escape from Plato's Cave and realize there's a whole, real world of information and commentary awaiting you beyond the walls of the information prison. In short, turn off the television, reject the Corporate Media, and think for yourself.

As part of the run-up to our launch, I'll be a guest during the third hour of Sebastian Gorka's national radio show America First tomorrow (Monday) to discuss Against the Corporate Media and also my 2020 best-seller on masculinity, Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost. Please tune in!

One comment on “Coming Sept. 10: 'Against the Corporate Media'”

  1. I applaud the effort to create an anthology of media mischief, however most people have already tuned them out. We get our information from alternative media, one-on-one conversation with trusted people, and distilling all of the noise through intuition and experience. Nothing is taken at face value anymore.

    The legacy media is dead to most people. Look at today's readership and viewership numbers compared to twenty years ago. People will simply not pay to be lied to.
