[An] actually fair and balanced, carefully documented biography. <b> Jacob Weisberg, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <b></b> The book excels at compiling data establishing Ailes s control freakishness and authoritarian nature. . . . A veteran of the New York media-reporting scene, Sherman nails the Fox News palace intrigue and brings to light interactions that Ailes clearly never wanted to go public. <b> Erik Wemple, <i>The Washington Post</i></b> <b></b> [An] enormously entertaining new biography. <b> <i>The New Republic</i></b> <b></b> A thoroughly reported look behind that curtain . . . Part of the reason [Ailes] and his allies have campaigned against the book is not because it is false, but because it tells a true story. <b> David Carr, <i>The New York Times</i></b> <b></b> Sherman is at his best writing with sweep about the history of cable news and placing Ailes in context. <b> <i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <b></b> [An] eye-opening biography of the would-be political kingmaker and Fox News mastermind . . . A well-reported, engaging book. A bonus: Bill O Reilly won t like it, either. Politics and media junkies, on the other hand, will have a field day. <b> <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>
