BBC Exposes 'Wolfman Hack' Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' as Hyped-Up Fiction & Gossip
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/07/18 | Judi McLeod

It isn't the emperor who has no clothes, it's Wolfman Hack Michael Wolff who has none

Gossip monger supremo Michael Wolff is convinced that “the story” he told in his book ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House’ is the one that will take down President Donald Trump.

Welcome to the promise of Wolfman Hack, the assassin sent by the Democrats to shut up the most outspoken president in all of U.S. history.

“In an interview with BBC Radio on Saturday, Michael Wolff, the author of the dubiously sourced gossip book targeting President Trump, boasted to host Nick Robinson that “the story” that he told, “will finally end…this presidency” once and for all. (NewsBusters, Jan. 6, 2018).

Wow. To read the Amazon reviews you’d think this was the greatest book since War And Peace.

Amazon deletes reviews of Michael Wolff’s explosive book about the Trump White House to combat trolls

Amazon is clamping down on internet trolls in the customer review section for a controversial new book about President Donald Trump

The e-commerce giant is deleting reviews for Michael Wolff’s bombshell book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House

The site appears to have learned its lesson from last September, when it removed hundreds of one-star views for Hillary Clinton’s memoir

Well of course. The haters are out in full force. This is their opportunity.

There’s a “war” ongoing about the book - part of a larger war for America’s soul. As always, it rages back and forth, back and forth. Wolff has fairly well discredited himself (as this points out but Trump despisers and the gullible won ‘t accept it), while those of us who are sane know Wolff is what he has always been - a money and fame grubber to the max - truth and the American Way be damned.

Look at the reviews of Wolffs other books. The guy comes across as a hack, a literary talent on par with someone who writes garbage for click bait websites and these reviews were written well before the Trump book came out......

On his book “The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch”:

2.0 out of 5 stars

The Most Distracting Writing...Ever
July 26, 2009
Format: Hardcover

“When I reached the 2/3rd mark of this book, I had to quit. Will someone please take Michael Wolff back to school to learn how to write correctly? The book is rife with rambling asides in parentheses and, his all-time favorite, within dashes. I challenge someone to find more than two pages within this entire book that does not include a dash (the Acknowledgments do not count). If something is worth mentioning, please take the take to develop it properly. I am not one of those curmudgeonly people who usually picks apart a book but am compelled to point out that abundant patience is needed to make it through this book.

This is all to say that Wolff’s writing distracts terribly from a topic and a man who is fascinating for what he has accomplished and how he had done it. The format of following Murdoch’s life with the parallel story line of the Dow Jones purchase works very well to keep the book fresh.”

“Autumn of the Moguls: My Misadventures With the Titans, Poseurs, and Money Guys Who Mastered and Messed Up Big Media”

1.0 out of 5 stars
Who’s the Biggest Poseur of All?
By Amazon Customer on February 2, 2004
Format: Paperback

“I read Autumn of the Moguls in disbelief. This is the “journalist” New York magazine was paying a half million dollars a year to for his supposed insights into the media business? What insights? What a lazy book this is. I was insulted by Wolff’s arrogance, relentless posing, and absolute lack of any substance. So, cool. He got to sit at the same table as Rupert Murdoch. He’s met Sumner Redstone. He gets invited to “mogul” meetings now and then. Big deal. The guy comes off as a total loser. No, wait: “total loser”—that’s me. I paid full price for this meaningless rubbish.”

The book is a flash in the pan—forgotten in six months, in the one dollar bin by June.
