About this ebook
From Derek Hunter—one of the most entertaining political writers today—comes an insightful, alarming look at how progressives have taken over academia, pop culture, and journalism in order to declare everything liberal great, and everything great, liberal.
Progressives love to attack conservatives as anti-science, wallowing in fake news, and culturally backwards. But who are the real denialists here?
There are three institutions in American life run by gatekeepers who have stopped letting in anyone who questions their liberal script: academia, journalism, and pop culture. They use their cult-like groupthink consensus as "proof" that science, reporting, and entertainment will always back up the Democrats. They give their most political members awards, and then say the awards make their liberal beliefs true. Worse, they are using that consensus to pull the country even further to the left, by bullying and silencing dissent from even those they've allowed in.
Just a few years ago, the media pretended they were honest brokers. Now a CNN segment is seven liberals versus a sacrificial lamb. MSNBC ate their sacrificial lamb. Well, Chris Matthews did. Tired of being forced to believe or else, Derek Hunter exposes the manufactured truths and unwritten commandments of the Establishment. With research and a biting, sarcastic wit, he explains:
- The growing role of celebrities in the political world, and movies with a "message" that dominate awards season, but rarely the box office.
- The unquestioning reporting on "studies" that don’t prove what they say they prove.
- The hidden bias of "fact-checking," when the media cherry picks which facts they check.
- Celebrity scientists like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson blending liberal activism with pretend expertise outside their fields.
Clever, controversial, and convincing, Derek Hunter's book gets to the root of America's biggest cultural war lies.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Writing: 4.0; Theme: 5.0; Content: 4.5; Language: 2.0; Overall: 4.5; This is rated so highly because of the important theme of the book. Mr. Hunter is exactly correct on the political environment that we find ourselves in currently. There is "outrage" around every corner, generally this outrage is against conservatives. We live in a very politically correct society where the thought police and Big Brother (liberals and progressives) desire to control you in every way. When the Left cannot win with ideas, they then descend to criticism and name-calling. Mr. Hunter does a wonderful job of showing how those on the left try to control behavior and thought constantly with the media as their willing accomplice. In order to have a "free press," every idea should be allowed or we do not have a free press. This does not mean that every idea is good or valid, it just means that those who hold contrary views (even to popular opinion) should not have their views censored or controlled. Unfortunately, this volume is full of vulgarity (at least forty uses of an assortment of language that should be kept in the sewer where it belongs). I hope in the future that Mr. Hunter will clean up his language so that those, like myself, who detests this type of language will choose to continue reading his future books. Highly recommend, (but with strong caution for language). ***August 18, 2018***
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked this because the way I vote. Didn't people try to put black people in jail for music back in the 80s and 90s. Oh well. I'm sure they were liberals
