Crazy Like A Fox Hardback - 2004
by Collins, Scott
How brutal is the cable news business? When Fox News CEO Roger Ailes learned that Paula Zahn was negotiating with archrival CNN, Ailes fired Zahn immediately. When a reporter pointed out that Zahn had boosted ratings for Fox, Ailes replied, 'I could have put a dead raccoon on the air this year and gotten a better rating than last year.'
Crazy Like A Fox tells one of the most dramatic business stories of the past decade the war over cable news. In 1991, with its coverage of the first Gulf War, Ted Turner's CNN reinvented the television news business and became a global brand name. In 1995, NBC and Microsoft pooled their enormous resources to create MSNBC. But by 2003, both had been dwarfed in the ratings by Rupert Murdoch's seven-year-old Fox News Channel. How did Fox News pull off this amazing victory and how is its success and its alleged right-wing slant changing the entire media world?
Scott Collins provides a shocking account of corporate arrogance and intrigue, with all the brash personalities and back-room dealings involved in the war for ratings. He offers inside tales about a virtual Who's Who of American television: not just corporate players like Turner, Murdoch, Ailes, Walter Isaacson, and Bob Wright, but also on-air talent like Paula Zahn, Bill O'Reilly, Connie Chung, Phil Donahue, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, and Larry King. Collins also shows what happened behind the camera during the biggest news stories of our time, including the 2000 election, September 11, and Gulf War II.
