Critics Review
“This book is chock-full of information that is new, shocking, and in some cases downright sickening…. Rosenberg builds his case against Fox carefully… this is a rigorous analysis of a conspiracy to make millions of people believe something that was not true.” – Booklist
“Respect for objective truth and trust in the national media across the ideological spectrum have plummeted together in recent years. Ian Rosenberg presents an incredibly gripping and well researched story of how Fox News’ treatment of the 2020 presidential election added explosive fuel to this decline, while the libel case has provided an important wake up call for our republic.” A vital read. - Donald Downs, University of Wisconsin-Madison
“Ian Rosenberg’s valuable book shows why we all should not fall prey to broad-brush statements about fake news and irresponsible journalists but should instead pay attention to the details of what’s actually been published. - Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School Artfully brings to life the current day challenges to freedom of the press that Dominion v. Fox embodied. Rosenberg’s lively narrative depicts the dramatic battle that ensued among judges, lawyers, media executives and personalities involved in the suit. His compelling tale illuminates the transformative impact of the Dominion settlement on the law, the media, and American democracy itself.” - Karen J. Greenberg, author of Subtle Tools: The Dismantling of American Democracy from the War on Terror to Donald Trump
“Veteran media lawyer Ian Rosenberg takes us behind the scenes and shows us not just the legal drama but the human drama that made Dominion’s showdown with Fox a signature moment for democracy and press freedom in a time when truth itself is under attack.” - David McCraw, author of Truth in Our Times: Inside the Fight for Press Freedom in the Age of Alternative Facts
