At the center of this book lies Sean Hannity, a college dropout who, following the death of Fox News mastermind Roger Ailes, reigns supreme at the network that pays him $30 million a year. the author describes the raging tensions inside FOX between the Trump loyalists and the few remaining journalists.

In speaking with over 250 current and former Fox insiders in an effort to understand the inner workings of FOX News, many FOX employees freely admitted they think Donald Trump is crazy or incompetent. “We don't really believe all this stuff,” a producer says. “We just tell other people to believe it.”

Including never before reported details, Hoax exposes the media personalities who, though morally bankrupt, profit outrageously by promoting the President’s propaganda and radicalizing the American right. It is a book for anyone who reads the news and wonders: How did this happen?

This all has roots in AM talk-radio in the 80s and 90s with hyper-conservative hosts who worshipped Reagan. They laid the groundwork for propaganda TV like Fox News and now OAN.

I have read a lot of the stuff here, but the last month has been very bad medically for my wife and I am in near 100% caretaker mode since she cannot get out of bed without help and has had to poop in a commode where I get to empty the result into the toilet and clean it up, she broke 3 bones, two in ankle and one in tibia because of a stupid dog hole and had to have reconstructive surgery with two separate incisions and nuts and bolts and plates installed to put her leg back together again so I don't have a lot of time here.
I am happy to see you say that about Trump. Personally I think he is a TRAITOR, aiding and abetting a foreign power in a war time situation which is what he did withholding weapons, like near a half BILLION dollars worth to the Ukraine until they make up BS about Joe Biden, talk about a desperate MF, eh.
Then not even MENTIONING the bounty put on American soldiers in Afghanistan by Putin even though they had at least 6 phone calls in the past 3 months.
Putin has something BIG over Trump or else you wouldn't see him kissing Putin's arse like he did in Helsinki.

To me that makes Trump a TRAITOR.
And he wants to screw up the US postal service so mail in votes cannot be counted which is his way of saying he can only win if he cheats.

His Niece wrote a SCATHING book about him and his own sister has had a phone conversation leaked where she says he cannot be trusted among other things,
She is the one who had to step down from being a federal judge after showing she had cheated along side Trump on their tax returns which is another bit of corruption Trump is DESPERATELY trying to keep out of public hands.

I’m English, I can’t stand Trump.
In fact I wouldn’t cross the road to piss on his head if his stupid hair was on fire.


Oh really? For someone who "can't stand Trump" you write a lot of posts here defending him. Pardon me if I'm a bit skeptical. 😏

Unnamed insiders and producers?

I imagine this doesn't really pan out.

And what a giant accusation.
