Just started reading Michael Wolff's "The Fall" about Fox News.

Hadn't really considered it seriously given criticism in the past of his books, but so far I'm loving this one. He seems to really have gotten deep into the Murdoch family and what Fox is. Right off the top, he calls Hannity thick as a brick and says Rupert hated Trump. I love the former (I know a few Hannity fans and they're as thick as he is) and the latter doesn't surprise me, but shows what a mongrel Rupert is to make money off of him. Wolff also says Roger Ailes called Trump stupid. There's all sorts of juicy stuff in the book. I have the audio and the reader is cracking me up with his imitation of Rupert. Anyway, if you hate Fox and you were considering this one, go for it. I think you'll like it.
