Story
Ben Shapiro uncovers the simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition - to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified because, after all, conservatives are the true bullies and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance.

Story
From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government.

For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the 21st century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? In this pathbreaking audiobook, best-selling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao, and Castro.

It’s everywhere, from commercials to New York Times best-sellers to college (and even younger) classrooms. In fact, pornography has become such a part of normal life in 21st century America that many teens and twenty-somethings have had no more important influence. They are the porn generation, where life’s expectations come from Mouseketeer pop tarts, Victoria’s Secret, internet titillation, and condom-flogging sex education.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Story
In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure - and they're winning. It's almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese. In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China's motives and secret attacks on the West.

Basic Fundamentals with a Helping of Bias
- By Bennymac on 2020-09-10
Publisher's Summary
Primetime Propaganda is the story of how television has been used over the past 60 years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftist image.
In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the television industry, the conservative columnist and best-selling author Ben Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York have leveraged - and continue to use - their positions and power to push liberal messages and to promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro, television isn't just about entertainment - it's an attempt to convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous.
But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more than 100 of the industry's biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore (House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders boast that not only is Hollywood biased against conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast have secret political messages. After hearing this groundbreaking exposé, listeners will never watch television the same way again.

So boring
Its just a list of actors, producers, directors and writers who are liberal. The author offers no information about what is wrong except for using a snide tone to describe shows that celebrate diversity rather than hate on anyone who doesn't live in a nuclear family.

Conservative Perspective with a Liberal Listener
I'm a pretty hardcore liberal, and a lot of the shows the author mentions and critiques are shows that I grew up with and loved. I am in a younger generation, so a good number of the shows I had never seen or sometimes even heard of. However, despite not necessarily agreeing with his perspective, I found Shapiro had well researched and thought provoking arguments, and clearly he did a fair bit of journalistic research and interviews. I breezed through the book within a week, despite its length, enjoying every chapter and unique critique. I would recommend it to those on the left and the right, because even as a liberal, I was able to note his concerns and start to see how the skew of Hollywood could influence our culture and society.

Well researched informative book
This book was really well researched and very informative. Ben makes great points about the culture of the left in Hollywood and how they intentionally demonize conservative view points. I love how he ties it back together at the end and encourages both sides to come together in order to save television.

Extensively Researched and Fair
First, to get it out of the way, the author lays their bias out on the table, making no pretense to absolute objectivity. With that out of the way, the book is based on dozens of interviews with Hollywood insiders. The author doesn't make pretenses that they're just following evidence but that they had a thesis and found evidence to support it. The author, despite their political leanings, doesn't descend into petty mud-slinging about television being garbage or immoral while saying they disagree with this morality or that. The author is well-acquainted with the subject matter and makes points with evidence rather than flat moral appeals.
Recommended if you'd like to hear from Hollywood insiders about political bias in the industry.

Detailed and well researched
This book provides a detailed and well researched account of the influence of liberal politics on television programs. The author conducted interviews with many of the key players in many of the most popular programs. The weakness of the book is that it doesn't spend much time on an alternative approach. It also doesn't give credit to TV for improving the acceptance of minorities, which is surely a value anyone should embrace.

This is a great book.
It can be a drag in a few segments only because lists of names, dates, and shows created.
this was a minor issue. Other wise highly recommended
