| Publisher Description: Just out of college, JP Lindsley helmed a juggernaut political organization aimed at elevating conservative journalist and restoring conservative principles. Soon, Lindsley would be hand picked as the successor to Rupert Murdoch. His principles and future were bright. But over the next two years, he would work side-by-side with Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News, in the heart of the conservative media juggernaut. He would be cut off from his family, isolated from his friends, and have all parts of his life controlled by Ailes and his allies. From the war for small-town America newspapers to the home of Chuck Norris to the private offices of the most powerful architects of conservative media, Fake News, True Story follows Lindsley's disorienting fall down the conservative-media rabbit hole--and his eventual flight from Ailes and his empire as they sought to destroy him. |
Contributor Bio(s): Lindsley, Jp: - JP Lindsley worked at The Weekly Standard in Washington, D.C., before serving as the executive director of the Collegiate Network. Frustrated with what he saw to be the lethargy and wastefulness of the American conservative movement, he left to start his own nonprofit to promote excellence in reporting. Roger Ailes, the founder and chairman of the Fox News Channel, hired Lindsley as editor-in-chief of two weekly newspapers in New York's Hudson Valley, the Putnam County Courier and the Putnam County News & Recorder. Lindsley then became Ailes's protégé and aide-de-camp. After two years, for reasons unexplained, Lindsley fled. Media worldwide reported that Ailes dispatched henchmen to chase Lindsley through the Hudson Valley. He currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana. |
