Announcing New Book!

A Manifesto for Media Freedom Brian Anderson and Adam Thierer examine the serious threat that free political speech is facing in their new book A Manifesto for Media Freedom. Many people are working to stifle political discourse through media regulations and campaign-finance reform under the guise of "fairness" but that in practice would lead to a much less diverse and open media universe. A Manifesto for Media Freedom serves as a wake-up call for all Americans about the growing danger to their freedom to watch, listen, and read what they want.
