Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
--New York Times "A Rosetta Stone for stuff about this presidency that doesn't otherwise make sense to normal humans"
--Rachel Maddow, author of #1 New York Times bestseller BLOWOUT and host of MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show "Stelter's critique goes beyond salacious tidbits about extramarital affairs (though there are plenty of those) to expose a collusion that threatens the pillars of our democracy."
--Washington Post "A rare look inside the profoundly influential cable news network and...a disturbing inside portrait of how it came to enable Trump's disastrous presidency."
--New Republic "Stelter's account gives a sense that [...] there's no one really in control -- that Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham and the "Fox & Friends" morning team can essentially do what they want."
--Associated Press "[Stelter] chronicles the symbiotic relationship between [Trump] and Rupert Murdoch's most famous product ...Hoax is amply documented."
--The Guardian "A deep, dispiriting dive into the nefarious intersection of politics, conspiracy, lies, and money as served up by Donald Trump and Fox News."
--Kirkus (starred review) "Essential....[a] grinding, momentum-building account, from an inside-Fox-News perspective, of the conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election, the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit and Tucker Carlson's defenestration...Network of Lies reads like one of Bob Woodward's mightier books."
--Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review "A readable and engrossing deep dive into the rightwing juggernaut paid for by the Murdochs and built by the late, disgraced Roger Ailes."
--Guardian "An essential read."
--Alex Wagner, Alex Wagner Tonight
