To CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter, President Trump’s
ongoing, mutually-reinforcing alliance with Fox News gained
permanent traction in January 2017. That was when Trump, enraged
over CNN’s coverage of his sparse inauguration crowd, found refuge
in sympathetic reporting from Fox News. Stelter says from that
point on, the network became Trump’s “humiliation-free zone” and
his chief source of information. As detailed in Stelter’s new book
“Hoax,” it also marked the start of an alliance in which Trump and
Fox worked together to cast the rest of American media as “fake.”
Stelter joins us to talk about what he uncovered about the
evolution and impact of the Trump-Fox partnership.
