Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, And The Dangerous Distortion Of Truth

"It’s the revelation that launched a thousand late-night TV punchlines: President Trump gets policy ideas from watching Fox News. But this book, by CNN chief media correspondent and Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter, goes deeper, unveiling just how insidious connections are between the right-wing cable news channel and the 45th president. From Fox News star Sean Hannity serving as a “shadow” chief of staff to a stable of stars who downplayed the expanding coronavirus pandemic as a Democratic Party plot, Stelter expertly details how Trump’s need for a supportive media outlet and Fox News’ thirst for ratings-driven profits led to an alliance unprecedented in modern media or politics."
