Ebook-Network of Lies The Epic Saga of Fox News Brian Stelter

The New York Times bestselling author of HOAX, “[a] rare look inside the profoundly influential” ( The New Republic ) Fox News, returns with an even more explosive account of the network’s blatant attempts to manipulate the truth, mislead the public, and influence our electionsIn the wake of Joe Biden’s unequivocal victory against Donald Trump in the 2020 election, Fox News anchors started to panic.

Now, facing unprecedented billion-dollar defamation lawsuits, and with the 2024 election rapidly approaching, Fox is in hot water–and it’s only getting hotter.

Featuring Brian Stelter’s signature “thorough and damning” ( The New York Times ) investigative prowess and filled with outrageous behind-the-scenes details, Network of Lies is a page-turning, urgent examination of the insidious ways the media is damaging our democracy–and what we must do to preserve it.
