Eight weeks from Tuesday is Election Day. Labor Day weekend was overtaken by anonymous quotes offered by former administration insiders, as published in The Atlantic. While former Vice President Joe Biden was in battleground Pennsylvania on Monday, Trump was at the White House, where he used a news conference to push back on the story -- and to suggest he isn't supported by Pentagon brass who "want to do nothing but fight wars." Plus, Brian Stelter joins the podcast to talk about his new book, Hoax, the twisted story of the relationship between Donald Trump and Fox News. Over the course of two years, Stelter spoke with over 250 current and former Fox insiders in an effort to understand the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch's multibillion-dollar media empire. Some of the confessions are alarming. Guest: Brian Stelter, CNN anchor and author of the new book, "Hoax: Donald Trump. Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth"
