"This book needed to be written, needed to be published, and needs to be read. Best of all, it's great fun to read." -- Brit Hume. "End of Discussion will actually start more conversations than it finishes. Mary Katharine and Guy are two of the bright stars of conservative commentary, and their insight and humor comes together well to showcase the absurdities of manufactured outrage and the benefits of taking a breath before launching an attack." -- Dana Periono, former White House press secretary and co-host of The Five on Fox News. "A brilliant expose of the Left's outrageous outrage over EVERYTHING! Free speech isn't free. It must be fought for. Get in the fight with this FANTASTIC book!" -- Brad Thor. "I can't thing of any two people more qualified to expose the Left's decidedly undemocratic efforts to silence opposing views. With their characteristic wit and humor, they take on the outrage industrial complex on behalf of fun -- and freedom-loving Americans everywhere." -- S.E. Cupp. "Will make you laugh -- and cry -- at a world where honest debate is all too rare." -- Juan Williams, Fox News liberal analyst. "Come for the writing and the humor, stay for the point: The 'outrage industry' is destroying politics. Benson and Ham have diagnosed a new kind of media cancer, one that is metastasizing and eating away at our ability to survive as a free people, freely debating our future. Yes, that sounds serious for a book with as wornderfully light a touch as this, and one so full of laugh-out-loud moments. But it is true. That's why you need to read this book." - Hugh Hewitt. "They want to shut you up. But don't let this be the End of Discussion. In this fresh and provocative new book, Mary Katharine Ham and Guy Benson, dynamic Fox News and Townhall Media duo, expose how the Left exploits fake outrage to silence their political opponents -- in public, on social media, at work, and even in theri own homes. End of Discussion encourages all Americans who value the open exchange of ideas to fight back against this strategic effort to make America less free, less feisty, and less fun. Ham and Benson demonstrate just how dangerous the outrage industry -- a coalition of mostly liberal blowhards and busy-bodies -- is to democracy. This media frenzy: Disqualifies opposing viewpoints on everything from health care to infrastructure to education by labeling them racist, sexist, and evil; Punishes speech that makes them uncomfortable; Demands boycotts, firings, regulations, and other economic costs for the sin of disagreeing with them; Seeks to win the debate by preventing it from happening. If you think this behavior is relegated to political fights or politicians, think again. A network of well-trained operatives, nonprfit groups, PR firms, universities, politicians, and "thought leaders" exists to foment outrage over YOUR association with the "wrong" fried chicken joints, internet browsers, breast cancer charities, children's toys, Halloween costumes, TV shows, schools, and even comedians' jokes. With Ham and Benson's help, readers can cut through the noise and find their voices again, fighting back against the rampant self-censorship and hair-trigger apologies that always make things worse, not better. With fresh reporting and insightful, occasionally tongue-in-cheed, analysis, End of Discussion is a timely handbook for anyone who wants to make sure debate doesn't meet an ugly death." -- excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…
