One reason for that is that his voters don't seem to trust any unflattering news about him...and they're turning to sources you probably haven't heard of.

On the third anniversary of January 6th, this WhoWhatWhy podcast features Brian Stelter, former CNN host and author of Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy. It's clear that Fox News will likely play a key role in determining whether America remains a democracy, and Stelter provides a colonoscopy into Fox News's influential role in shaping U.S. politics, especially post-2020 election.  He examines the network's complex relationship with truth, and why it's been so successful in conning a huge group of low information voters. He shares unknown information about key figures like Tucker Carlson and Rupert Murdoch.  The podcast also explains Sean Hannity's clever avoidance of fallout and Carlson's impact on the GOP and white nationalism.  Stelter discusses the details of the billion-dollar defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems, revealing how Fox News perpetuated election falsehoods and its ongoing effect on the decay of American democracy.

Stelter's book also focuses like a laser on Tucker Carlson. We discuss the devolution of FNC from Bill O'Reilly to Carlson.    Also discussed are former fox stars like Geraldo Rivera and Kimberly Guilfoyle. Considered at further length are remaining Fox broadcasters, Judge Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity.

Following Joe Biden's unequivocal victory against Donald Trump in the 2020 election, Fox News anchors started to panic. They swapped out the truth about Biden for lies about Trump, and their stories about voting irregularities and "rigged" systems fueled a fire of misinformation, hate, and even violence. In the wake of Fox's historic $787 million Dominion settlement, and with the 2024 election rapidly approaching, Fox is in hot water-and it's only getting hotter. With the lawsuits dragging the network's shameful secrets into the light-such as Tucker Carlson's passionate hatred for Donald Trump-the future of the network, and the Republican Party, hangs in the balance. Featuring Brian Stelter's signature "thorough and damning" (The New York Times) investigative prowess and filled with outrageous behind-the-scenes details, Network of Lies is a page-turning, urgent examination of the insidious ways the media is damaging our democracy-and what we must do to preserve it.
