Fox News and the Trump Administration: Brian Stelter in Conversation with Kara Swisher

Brian Stelter and Kara Swisher
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program.

In what is arguably one of the biggest stories in American politics right now: the relationship between FOX News and the Trump administration, and in one of his first exclusive interviews, CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter offers his view—a revealing behind the scenes look at what happens when the lines between government and the news intersect.

Based on interviews conducted with “over 250 current and former Fox News insiders,” Stelter’s new book, Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, will also tell the inside story of anchor Shepard Smith’s abrupt resignation from the channel.
