Washington Post hires Sommer as media reporter

For five years, Will has been a politics reporter at the Daily Beast covering right-wing media and conspiracy theories. In articles and on his “Fever Dreams” podcast, Will has covered the breadth of the American right, from internal dissent at Fox News to a QAnon kidnapping gang. Will’s work has been featured in several documentaries, including HBO’s “Q: Into the Storm” and “After Truth.”

In February, HarperCollins published Will’s book on QAnon, “Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America.” In his review, New York Times book critic Dwight Garner called Will “a media obsessive, almost morbidly well informed.”
