Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
The instant New York Times bestseller that reveals the collusion between Fox News and Donald Trump—with explosive new reporting covering the election and the January 6 riot.
As the nation recovers from the Trump presidency, many questions remain: Why was the COVID-19 pandemic so grossly mishandled? How did we get so politically polarized? What caused white nationalist groups to come out of the shadows, and are they here to stay?
The answers lie the twisted story of the relationship between Donald Trump and Fox News. Through firsthand accounts from over 250 current and former Fox insiders, CNN anchor and chief media correspondent Brian Stelter unlocks the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch's multibillion-dollar media empire. The confessions are shocking: "We don't really believe all this stuff," a producer says. "We just tell other people to believe it."
Stelter completes the story of the Trump years and looks toward the future of the network that made him. Hoax is a book for anyone who reads the news and wonders how we got here, and what happens next.

September 15, 2020
A deep, dispiriting dive into the nefarious intersection of politics, conspiracy, lies, and money as served up by Donald Trump and Fox News. There are moments when one feels almost sorry for Trump: His niece has spilled nasty beans about him, and his sister has chided him for lying. It's all in a day's work for him. The feeling sorry bit comes when CNN host Stelter suggests that Trump isn't smart enough to concoct his bizarre gibberish. Instead, it comes straight from the "lie-laundering" Fox News, courtesy mostly of Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham--and even Hannity, according to one of Stelter's sources, says "that Trump is a batshit crazy person." Trump lives by the TV, tuned to Fox unless some now-departed b�te noire like Shepard Smith appears, and it's from Fox that he takes his cues. All of them: a circus of disinformation about lab-hatched viruses, caravans full of terrorists from Guatemala, the "Mueller crime family" that engineered Trump's scarcely mentioned impeachment, and a host of other alternative takes on reality. Stelter provides genealogies for each of Trump's peevish prevarications, not least of them the insistence that the truth is a "hoax," a word that "was uttered more than nine hundred times on Fox News in the first six months of 2020." That numbing repetition, notes the author, erodes the truth with each mantralike utterance. Fox has needed Trump for ratings--its average viewer is 67, an obviously declining demographic--and Trump has needed Fox to serve as echo chamber and think tank. Each obliges the other: "Fox was the gas station where Trump stopped to fill up his tank of resentment," and Trump lends Fox influence over U.S. policy. In a long, sordid, cheerless, and endlessly dishy narrative, Stelter indicts all parties involved for leaving the country "without a properly functioning chief executive." Those inclined to scorn the sitting president will have all the more reason to do so after reading this seething book.COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
