Shameless Liars: How Trump Defeated the Legacy Media and Made Them Irrelevant.
About Shameless Liars!
In Shameless Liars! radio talk show host and video podcaster Larry O'Connor details the most egregious examples of media bias, slanted coverage, double standards, journalistic malpractice, and outright propaganda that were on full display during the 2024 election cycle and how Trump triumphed over all of it.O'Connor, a long-time media critic, and current affairs commentator who once worked with trailblazing conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart, examines the origins of the First Amendment's Freedom of the Press and how We the People require honest and unencumbered journalism to allow our Constitutional Republic to thrive.
Shameless Liars! also examines the rise of alternative media and how Trump harnessed the plethora of new outlets and streaming platforms to build his voter coalition and win the day. By ignoring 60 Minutes in favor of Joe Rogan, Trump's campaign changed the political media paradigm forever... and We the People are better for it.
Shameless Liars! is not just a historical look back on the media malpractice the American people have endured over the past several years, it's a hope-filled chronicle of the way forward for America as the appetite for news and information grows faster than the propagandists in the corporate outlets can keep up.
The propagandists have been fully exposed and Donald Trump vanquished them all.
We are not tired of all the winning. Not by a long shot.
Praise for Larry O’Connor and Shameless Liars “Larry is at the forefront of exposing the left-wing legacy media for their bias and lies. This book is a musty read for anyone looking to understand the reality of the current media landscape and how Donald Trump has shown us how to fight AND WIN!!” - Sean Spicer Former White House Spokesman, Host of The Sean Spicer Show
"Larry O'Connor has quite literally been the voice of truth in Washington, D.C. Day in and day out, he's taken to the airwaves to cut through the lies and gaslighting surrounding every important political debate. Now in Shameless Liars, O'Connor incisively chronicles how Donald Trump finally beat all of America's dishonest gatekeepers at their own game and lays out all the bold and inventive new ways ordinary citizens can defeat our would-be censors, speak truth to power, and reclaim the First Amendment." Mollie Hemingway Editor-in-Chief, The Federalist
"The Democrat Party press stopped pretending to hide their open, hostile bias against Donald Trump long ago. Their attacks on Trump and his supporters are attacks on our electoral system. When Trump defeated Kamala Harris, he also defeated the media and their propaganda tactics. It's all detailed in this book." - Mark Levin Fox News Host, Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio Host
"The corporate legacy media has become a political movement unto themselves and their activism was on full display in their efforts against Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Larry O'Connor's insightful analysis of their election interference comes from his long career in DC talk radio, exposing their tactics every day from the belly of the Washington media beast." - Amb. Richard Grenell, Special Envoy for Special Missions, Former U.S. Ambassador to Germany
“Larry O’Connor has been exposing the corrupt media for years. Now he lays out how the election of President Donald Trump pulled back the curtain for the public to see just how bad they had become over time.

Best Book I’ve Read Since Righteous Indignation
I loved every second of this book. I loved the scrutiny of the disgraceful partisan MSM. I loved the homage to Andrew Breitbart, one of Larry’s best friends and mentor. I take the afternoon podcast with me to the gym and look forward to more of Larry’s news and media coverage!

This was a scathing indictment of all of the folks in the media who choose to bend the truth in order to affect their preferred social outcomes.
You don't have to be a fan of Trump (I'm not, personally) to know that the media has fallen very far indeed. O'Connor does an excellent job of showing the shape of the problem. It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media's meaningful recovery is possible in the long run.

A great read from Larry O'Connor. Appreciate his detailing of why freedom of the press is important and why it was actually put into our Constitution. The history lesson was excellent. A discussion of the most current, terrible instances of media bias, as well as why "we are now the media".... with some fantastic reminders of how Andrew Breitbart led the way for the new media! Can't wait for the next one!

Sad but true.
It's so hard dealing with the shady tricks of the media. It's even worse when you have to hear all the noise from people who don't do even a smidge of their own thinking. They take the short headline or tag as bible - which the media loves.
