"Attorney General William Barr met last year with media mogul Rupert Murdoch to pressure him to “muzzle” Donald Trump critic Andrew Napolitano on Fox News, according to a new book out Tuesday.
Napolitano’s air time has dwindled as his criticism of Trump has increased over the last year.
Barr’s meeting with Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox News’ parent company, at his New York home was widely reported at the time, but its purpose was not revealed. One aim of the meeting was to shut up Napolitano, according to the book “Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth,” written by CNN media reporter Brian Stelter."
Stelter's new book, due out this week, goes far beyond this story. It details the feedback loop between Faux and the Grifter-in-Chief. Stelter makes it clear how the misinformation spewed at Faux gets included in Don's tweets, his comments, and even influences US policy.
A topic that has been covered before.

I’ve Studied the Trump-Fox Feedback Loop for Months. It’s Crazier Than You Think.
There is no strategy to Trump’s Twitter feed; he is not trying to distract the media. He is <i>being</i> distracted—by cable news.
