    Among the trolls

    Have you heard that Bill Gates is running a secret genocidal plot? That the war in Ukraine isn’t real? Or that people are paid to act out some of the worst attacks imaginable? In ‘Among the Trolls’, BBC reporter Marianna Spring meets the most committed conspiracy theorists – and their victims. Far from a few lone wolves, she uncovers a staggering network of true believers, trolls and conspiracy influencers engaged in an international information war. She takes on the social media companies and their algorithms, exposing the harm they can cause from witnessing it up close.

    The fall

    Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in America. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players, Michael Wolff plunges us behind the scenes of an empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable. Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old billionaire – concerned about his legacy, but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious children, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put Trump back in office.
