Unfreedom of the Press, Mark Levin (Threshold Editions), 2018. 1* (11/16/2019) (I hardly ever make notes like this, but Mark is telling people things that they want to hear that confirms their perspective, which is why so many people love this book. Unfortunately, he isn’t actually teaching readers to think independently for themselves, or to find reliable resources, or to do the very difficult work of learning about nuance and difference and avoiding labels. Labeling people and groups ends up causing more confusion instead of bringing clarity. The world is far more nuanced and complex than the so-called labels of left and right. I’m pretty confident that the basic commandment to “love thy neighbor as thyself” means “don’t label other people and then make claims about them or decisions about them or judgement about them, instead learn about them and seek to fully understand them.” Mark fails to do this in his book. He instead makes all of us feel comfortable in our own biases instead of encouraging us to ask ourselves, “Lord, is it I?” This book will not help you become wiser, nor more charitable, nor more empathetic, nor more mindful, nor more aware of the realities of the lives of the millions of people who call themselves Americans. As lovers and seekers of truth who need the challenge to do the hard work that results in truth, readers deserve better. I hate to say this but Mark Levin is contributing to the very problem he claims to be solving. And a PS: I’ve been off the news for more than 3 years. I gave it up so I could read more books, as can be seen from the list below. For those who complain about the news, I recommend dropping the addiction. And then I recommend reading widely, especially listening to voices you think you disagree with. If all you ever listen to is people who you already agree with, what have you really learned? You need not have to change your mind by listening to someone who thinks differently than you. But no one can claim open-hearted charity, empathy, and understanding of people and the world if they do not listen to those who think differently than they do.)
