Gabriel Sherman is an American author. In 2014, he wrote a biography about Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes called The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News – and Divided a Country,[1] which debuted at #9 on The New York Times Bestseller list.[2][3]

He has written for The New York Observer[4] and for New York magazine[5] where he is a contributing editor.[6]

SF Gate called his biography of Ailes The Loudest Voice in the Room "classic in a subgenre that might be called Enraged TV Executives Throwing Things."[6] Sherman interviewed 600 people for the book, but did not have an interview with Ailes himself.[6] Sherman portrays Ailes' leadership of Fox News as "absolute".[7] Ken Kurson wrote that the Ze'ev Chafets' biography, Roger Ailes: Off Camera, released before Sherman's book, "does a better job penetrating the psyche of Mr. Ailes (Mr. Chafets had extensive access to the wizard), and Mr. Sherman’s book does a better job depicting the phenomenon of Fox News and its cultural meaning."[8] Fox News has denied many of the events depicted in the book.[9] The book led to a number of media reports about Fox and its culture.[10][11] Jay Ambrose said that readers "should also not worry yourself to death about" The Loudest Voice in the Room because Ailes is a "fascinating if endlessly castigated man whose direction of Fox News divided nothing."[12]

In his September 19, 2016, "Agendas" column for the New York Observer conservative journalist Evan Gahr accused Sherman of a conflict of interest for writing about Fox News while negotiating with a job with chief competitor MSNBC and also not reporting purging allegations against MSNBC president Phil Griffin [13]

Sherman is married to Jennifer Stahl, an editor at ProPublica.
