The Network of Lies is still Lying

Brian Stelter dove deep into the bowels of Fox News so you don't have to

Swimming in the muck!

You have to give Brian Stelter credit for diving headlong into the swamp that is Fox News. When the Dominion lawsuit against the network produced a massive amount of emails, texts, and internal documents he leaped feet first into the pile to delve deep into the machinations behind what drove their embrace of the Big Lie and the fall out from the effort.

The result is compelling reading but also depressing as hell.

His new book “Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy” is an in depth and revealing look at how the network is essentially ungoverned as hard news journalists labor to do their jobs while individual opinion shows and producers look for what to be angry about each day.

In the end there is hope though. We can fight back and pressure does work. Tucker Carlson is shilling on X/Twitter instead of being broadcast in millions of homes each night. The fight for control of the company after Rupert Murdoch finally passes in the coming years will be epic in scale as well. For those in the pro-democracy movement we have to keep pushing back against the lies.

The Show

Brian Stelter

Brian Stelter probably watches more Fox News than the people that work there and when the Dominion lawsuit opened up the private emails and text messages in the company he pounced. The result is his latest gripping book “Network of Lies” on how key elements of the Big Lie were fostered on Fox and the price both they and we are paying for it. Stelter is the New York Times bestselling author of three books: Top of the Morning, Hoax, and his latest, Network of Lies. Previously, Stelter was a media reporter at The New York Times, the chief media correspondent for CNN Worldwide, and the anchor of Reliable Sources. He is currently a special correspondent for Vanity Fair and a Walter Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and two children. Follow him on Twitter @BrianStelter.
