HOAX

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 Tumpfest 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. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2020]
