Summary:
According to the media, Donald Trump could never become president. Now many are on a mission to prove he shouldn't be president. The Trump administration and the press are at war - and as in any war, the first casualty has been truth. Howard Kurtz, host of Fox News's Media Buzz, offers an exposÔe of how supposedly objective journalists, alarmed by Trump's success, have moved into the opposing camp. Kurtz's interviews with reporters, anchors, and insiders within the Trump White House reveal the unprecedented hostility between the media and the president they cover. Why White House strategist Steve Bannon told Trump he is in danger of being impeached. How the love-hate relationship between the president and Morning Joe hosts - Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski - turned entirely to hate. How Kellyanne Conway felt betrayed by journalists who befriended her, and how she fought back. How elite, mainstream news reporters openly express their blatant contempt for Trump. How Bannon tried to block short-lived Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, and why Trump soured on him. An eye-opening look at what the White House and the media think about each other. It's not pretty.
