The loudest voice in the room

When Rupert Murdoch enlisted Roger Ailes to launch a cable news network in 1996, American politics and media changed forever. Now, with a remarkable level of detail and insight, New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman brings Roger Ailes to life, along with the outsized personalities-Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson, the Murdochs, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and others-who have helped Fox News play a defining role in the great social and political controversies of the past two decades. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with Fox News insiders past and present, The Loudest Voice in the Room is an extraordinary feat of reportage.
