Outside of Donald Trump, there is perhaps no single person or entity the elite liberal media hate more than Fox News and its founder, Rupert Murdoch. And, whenever they’ve wanted to obsess over him, they’ve sucked up to Murdoch stalker Gabe Sherman.

So, when he came out with the book Bonfire of the Murdochs on February 3, he was welcome on CNBC and MS NOW with nearly 30 minutes of interviews (29:41). Despite all that, Bookscan results showed a pathetic 1,118 copies were sold in its first week.

The book sales are even more embarrassing when considering its opening week was worse than Olivia Nuzzi’s cartoonishly bad memoir, American Canto.

On the other end of the spectrum, Bookscan scored the leading book as self-help author Mel Robbins’s latest The Let Them Theory at 40,130 copies sold.

Sherman’s woeful opening unsurprisingly didn’t crack the top 200 books of this young year thus far and even pulled behind books such as Comfy Buddies: A Creepy Sweet Coloring Book and Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants.

On the February 2 Morning Joe, MS NOW Mika Brzezinski fawned over Sherman as having “been covering the Murdochs for nearly 20 years and interviewed more than 150 sources for the new book”.

“Wow. Congratulations…That’s a lot,” she exclaimed at the start of a five-minute-plus chat.

Sherman lamented the Murdochs are “a family that puts its pathology into the business and now we’re all living the consequences.”

Ah, yes, “consequences” as in Americans having more diversity of thought in television news. The horror.

MS NOW loved it so much they ran a condensed version of the interview on February 7’s Morning Joe Weekend.

Sherman resurfaced hours later on MS NOW’s The Beat for the longest TV interview at seven minutes and seven seconds.

Host Ari Melber huffed: “[Rupert] Murdoch, of course, wrote the global business playbook, which many copy now trotting into different countries, deploying media assets quite blatantly as political leverage, not independent journalism. He oversees companies that break all kinds of rules.”

The creep then asserted to Melber that the patriarch “is spending the final years of his life feeling powerless” having become “hostage not only to the trump Maga base, but also became hostage to his own children, who were fighting each other for control of the empire.”

Following nearly eight minutes the next day (February 3) on CNBC’s Squawk Box, he was welcome back on MS NOW with The 11th Hour as host Stephanie Ruhle breathlessly hyped an excerpt that Fox News and the New York Post are a “propaganda machine” that’s “monetized outrage, spread conspiracy theories, and shaped the minds of millions across three continents.”
