Hello everybody, Mark Levin here, our number 877-3813811-877-3813811. I want to thank Richie Z.

The great WPHT for sitting in was celebrating a sweet rush of shana last night with the family and friends at dinner.

I'm back and it appears Mr. Producer that I've been all over the media. Did you notice that?

Oh yes, all over the media. And the funny thing about the media is 98% of it lied. Even lied about my appearance, lied about the whole issue.

Before we dig into all these things, let me just say emphatically, this is the biggest nothing on the face of the earth.

The transcript of the president and his phone call with the president of Ukraine is nothing. Nothing.

The complaint filed by the CIA operative who shouldn't have been a whistleblower, his complaint shouldn't have treated as a whistleblower complaint prior to a few days or a few weeks before it's filing.

In this secret anonymous person who's now the most noblest person on the face there, just like Blaziford, just like Anita, Hill, you know, down the list, there's appalling.

You know folks, this is our government. This is our country. These are our branches of government.

And isn't it funny the Democrats call for transparency? But they're going to hold back their witness until they can create this this big dramatic moment.

This is all being choreographed. It's all being choreographed. There's literally nothing here.

But first I want to talk about the media. I cannot tell you how right on I was when I wrote Unfreedom of the Press.

It's about, you don't have to buy it, don't buy it as a matter of fact, just let me talk about what's in it.

How those entrusted with news reporting in the modern media are destroying freedom of the press from within. Not government oppression or suppression.

Our president Trump's finger pointing, but present day newsrooms and journalists.

Indeed social activism, progressive group thing, Democrat party partisanship, opinion and propaganda passed off as news.

The staging of pseudo events, self-sensorship, bias by omission and outright falsehoods are too often substituting for old-fashioned objective fact-gathering and news reporting.

A self-perpetuating and reinforcing mindset has replaced independent and impartial thinking and the American people know it.

So the credibility of the mass media has never been lower. Never been lower. And they deserve it, they've done it.
