Fox News paid almost a billion dollars in legal settlements to bury the contents of this ?ssential?rinding, momentum-building?(The New York Times) account of the network? blatant attempts to manipulate the truth, mislead the public, and influence our elections?rom the New York Times bestselling author of Hoax. The ongoing criminal trials of Donald Trump are also a trial for the nation he once led. We are undergoing a stress test of American democracy, the rule of law, and the very notion of a shared political reality. Can we achieve accountability for premeditated assaults on democracy and what forms should accountability take? In Network of Lies, New York Times bestselling author Brian Stelter answers these questions by weaving together private texts, unpublished emails, depositions, and other primary sources to tell the chilling story of Trump? alleged conspiracy to steal the 2020 election, and the right-wing media? mission to put him back in office in 2024. Trump couldn? have convinced millions of Americans of the Big Lie without Fox News. From the moment Joe Biden became president-elect in 2020, Fox hosts fueled a fire of misinformation and violence by spreading Trump? tales of election fraud and suppressing the truth. Come January, Sean Hannity insisted Trump needed to stop listening to ?razy people?who swore he could stay in power, but it was too late?housands of Trump? deluded followers had stormed the Capitol and Trump operatives had breached Dominion Voting Systems?voting machines in Georgia. Now, the 2020 lies are at the center of numerous indictments and his reelection campaign, but Trump is not the only one under fire. The once-untouchable Rupert Murdoch has been held accountable. Dominion? legal war, chronicled in-depth for the first time here, revealed that the ninety-two-year-old Fox chairman knew Trump? lies were dangerous but he allowed the lies to fill Fox? airwaves because, as his ?ain sponge?Suzanne Scott admitted, telling the truth was ?ad for business.?Network of Lies goes inside the chat rooms, board rooms, and court rooms where the pro-Trump media? greed and selfishness were exposed. Featuring Stelter? ?horough and damning?(The New York Times) investigative prowess and direct quotations so shocking they read like fiction, Network of Lies is the definitive origin story of Trump? attempt to tear down the guardrails of American democracy, and an urgent plea to learn from past mistakes as we head into 2024? pivotal presidential election.
