Levin fancies himself an academic and a historian, but this book shows that he has little respect for history. To him, history is a file cabinet full of empirical evidence to rifle through and cherrypick and manipulate, solely to support his ultra-right commentary. Instead of adapting his arguments to fit history, Levin does it the other way around, twisting and contorting examples from the past to "prove" his points. No example is too tired, irrelevant, or forgotten, in Levin's eyes. I kept waiting for him to bring up Chappaquiddick. (It's useful to point out here that Levin was trained as a lawyer, and this is, of course, how lawyers operate—they dig through legal examples from the past to find something—anything—which supports their position on a current case. What Levin doesn't seem to have realized is, this method of proving a point makes little sense outside of a courtroom.)

Unfortunately, this is really the only way that Levin knows how to argue; he did the same in his previous book, Unfreedom of the Press (another comedy classic). In order to prove their mendacity, Levin took pains to point out that during World War II, the New York Times barely reported the ethnic cleansing taking place in Nazi Germany, which is very true indeed. Never mind that the same could be said of any newspaper in the world at the time, since the Holocaust was a closely-guarded secret amongst the Third Reich's elite. They knew they were losing the war, and endeavored to complete the killings as fast as possible before they were found out. According to Levin, since the NYT did not do a good job reporting the Holocaust in 1944, their reporting cannot be trusted in 2021, and everyone who works within said organization supports genocide, then and now. I am no cheerleader; there are plenty of legitimate criticisms that could be leveled at the Times, and yet this is the sort of eye-rolling, sophomoric pablum that Levin fills his books with.
