This book traces the historical development of Fox's counter-elite news brand and reveals how an iconoclastic news style was crafted by fusing two class-based traditions of American public culture: populist politics and tabloid journalism. Through this style Fox successfully reframes narrow, conservative political demands as popular and universal.
Introduction: Fox populism in the Great Recession; 1. Channeling America's tabloid soul: how Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly remade television news; 2. Populism on cable news: a theoretical framework; 3. 'I'm a blue-collar guy': how Fox News hosts imagine themselves and their audience as working class; 4. 'The makers and the takers': how Fox News forges a working class/business class political alliance; 5. The populist-intellectual tactic: how Fox News incorporates expert knowledge within its populist framework; Conclusion. Trumpian populism: Fox News' respectable future clashes with its tabloid past; Postscript. Fox News and the alt-right: populism and nationalism; Endnotes; Bibliography; Index.
