The fact that Trump had become the ultimate avatar of Fox's angry common man was another sign that we were living in an upside-down world.
In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff explores the complex relationship between Donald Trump and Fox News. He suggests that Trump's persona resonated with the channel's portrayal of the discontented American everyman, showcasing how the media landscape and political climate have shifted dramatically. This phenomenon highlights a growing divide in societal perspectives, where traditional norms seem inverted.
Wolff’s assertion about Trump embodying the essence of Fox's narrative demonstrates a broader cultural transformation. The emphasis on anger and populism reflects a shift in how political leaders connect with the public. This makes clear that the intersection of media and politics has created an environment where previous standards have been challenged and redefined.
