Stelter’s New Book About Fox News

Donald Trump would not be in the White House if media stars at Fox News did not have a symbiotic relationship with him. Trump influences the personalities at Fox, and they influence Trump. Brian Stelter tells this important story in a new book. Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.  Through interviews with more than 250 current and former Fox insiders, Stelter shows the network’s huge role in turning the President and the Republican Party radically right. Stelter’s book is especially important because it reminds us that television hosts and guests at Fox and leaders at the Fox Corporation, Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan, served as Trump’s influential promoters and enablers.
