"Entertaining and informative...Folkenflik, the media correspondent for NPR... has developed the contacts and style that make this reportage fascinating and credible."--Booklist "Folkenflik lucidly and effectively sorts out the complicated phone-hacking story and its political ramifications."--Kirkus "Murdoch's World is bolstered by deep reporting, including scores of interviews, and laced with delicious anecdotes."--Los Angeles Times "I'm not sure I've seen a more apt capturing of Roger Ailes, a hardcore ideologue, the creator of one of the great anti-fact engines in the history of American life but at some level at [his] core someone who knows how to create and loves great television above all else."--Josh Marshall, publisher of Talking Points Memo
