First, the good news for environmentalists is that Brian Stelter's latest book will only cut down a few trees.
For the first time since CNN fired him last year, Stelter prominently returned to cable news to promote “Network of Lies,” his new book about Fox News.
However, as the Daily Caller painfully notes, the book has only sold 3,087 copies in its first week of publication:
His new book gathers together text messages, emails and other sources to dive into the “chilling story” of former President Donald Trump's election fraud claims and Fox News' role in spreading the allegations, according to Simon & Schuster, the book's publisher.
“In Network of Lies, New York Times bestselling author Brian Stelter answers these questions by weaving together private texts, unpublished emails, depositions, and other primary sources to tell the chilling story of Trump's alleged conspiracy to steal the 2020 election, and the right-wing media's mission to put him back in office in 2024,” the book's summary reads.
“Trump couldn't have convinced millions of Americans of the Big Lie without Fox News,” it continues. “From the moment Joe Biden became president-elect in 2020, Fox hosts fueled a fire of misinformation and violence by spreading Trump's tales of election fraud and suppressing the truth. Come January, Sean Hannity insisted Trump needed to stop listening to ‘crazy people' who swore he could stay in power, but it was too late—thousands of Trump's deluded followers had stormed the Capitol and Trump operatives had breached Dominion Voting Systems' voting machines in Georgia.”
The book will not make The New York Times' bestseller list, according to Mediaite. “Network of Lies” was the 7,077th best-selling title on Amazon, as of press time.
Stelter's saw his previous book sell over 20,000 copies in the first week.
