Show Notes

But the defamation lawsuits against the cable news behemoth have helped uncover the distance between Fox’s interest in appeasing its viewers with conspiracy theories and outright falsehoods and what its top talent and ownership have been saying behind the scenes since the 2020 campaign. New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg has been covering Fox and the Murdochs for years. His latest New York Times Magazine story is called “How Fox Chased Its Audience Down The Rabbit Hole.”
