Riassunto

An inside account of the story of Fox News offers insight into its operations and influence, covering such topics as the original launch of a conservative cable news network by Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, Ailes's campaign-like management style and the ways in which Fox has become a dominant and lucrative force in American politics. (This book was previously featured in Forecast.)

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“[An] actually fair and balanced, carefully documented biography.”—Jacob Weisberg, The New York Times Book Review
 
“The book excels at compiling data establishing Ailes’s control freakishness and authoritarian nature. . . . A veteran of the New York media-reporting scene, Sherman nails the Fox News palace intrigue and brings to light interactions that Ailes clearly never wanted to go public.”—Erik Wemple, The Washington Post
 
“[An] enormously entertaining new biography.”—The New Republic
 
“A thoroughly reported look behind that curtain . . . Part of the reason [Ailes] and his allies have campaigned against the book is not because it is false, but because it tells a true story.”—David Carr, The New York Times
 
“Sherman is at his best writing with sweep about the history of cable news and placing Ailes in context.”—Los Angeles Times
 
“[An] eye-opening biography of the would-be political kingmaker and Fox News mastermind . . . A well-reported, engaging book. A bonus: Bill O’Reilly won’t like it, either. Politics and media junkies, on the other hand, will have a field day.”—Kirkus Reviews
