Murdoch has been a persistent evil character in our nation's history since he got here in the 70s. He actually gets a lot of pushback and he loves it, but I don't think it's a yes person. Murdoch is an overwhelming character and they get people around and believe in him. And so that's why it's like that family in Jake's book, The Lions, they're all like that.
When political spectacles abound, how can the media focus on the substance and avoid the clickbait? And is there a market left for nonpartisan cable news? Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor of The Lead Jake Tapper joins us to discuss these questions, and his new book, All the Demons Are Here, a Post-Watergate thriller with inspiration from Trump, Murdoch and more.
