Synopsis

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.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf

Fake newsing one´s way to the top. A nice description of how demagogic politicians and conservative, right wing media outlets work together. The cynicism and cold intelligence behind these networks are astonishing, it´s getting more and more movie like, a mixture of thriller, dark satire, and a mix......more

Goodreads review by Bren fall in love with the sea.

“This “do as I say, not as I do” attitude was one of the first things the producer noticed when he started working for F& F. Anti-marijuana segments were a layup on the show. Then he headed to a house party with colleagues for the first time and saw half the staff out on the balcony getting high. “O......more

Goodreads review by Donald

An excellent book focusing on Fox News and its relationship with President Trump. This book is based upon well sourced facts, the truth. It reveals and documents the effects of our economic systems, our out of control anti-trust policies, systemic racism, control of information by wealthy elites, an......more

Quotes

"Author Brian Stelter energetically narrates this impassioned takedown of the incestuous relationship between President Trump and Fox News. A longtime media critic and host of CNN's 'Reliable Sources,' he reads his tell-all at a quick pace, his cadence worthy of a schooled broadcaster, his tone indignant. The author's voice reveals an unstinting sense of disappointment for Fox News' ceding of its programming to Trump; for its bullying, propaganda-spewing hosts (Hannity, Ingram, Tucker); for the the morning Trumpfest of 'Fox & Friends' and the dangerous downplaying of COVID-19. There's no doubt that with this book Stelter, who has been maligned by Fox anchors, has his day in the court of public opinion. His audiobook is a must for anyone who wants to understand Fox and its most important viewer."
