description: 7 hours 46 minutes Called disgraceful third-rate and not nice by Donald Trump NBC News correspondent Katy Tur reported onand took flak fromthe most captivating and volatile presidential candidate in American history.Tur lived out of a suitcase for a year and a half following Trump around the country powered by packets of peanut butter and kept clean with dry shampoo. She visited forty states with the candidate made more than 3800 live television reports listened to endless loops of Elton Johns Tiny Dancera Trump rally playlist staple.From day 1 to day 500 Tur documented Trumps inconsistencies fact-checked his falsities and called him out on his lies. In return Trump repeatedly singled out Tur. He tried to charm her intimidate her and shame her. At one point he got a crowd so riled up against her Secret Service agents had to walk her to her car.None of it worked. Facts are stubborn. So was Tur. She was part of the first women-led politics team in the history of network news. The Boys on the Bus became the Girls on the Plane--but the circus remained. Through all the long nights wild scoops naked chauvinism dodgy staffers and fevered debates no one had a better view than Tur.Unbelievable is her darkly comic fascinatingly bizarre and often scary story of how America sent a former reality show host to the White House. Its also the story of what it was like for Tur to be there as it happened inside a no-rules world where reporters were spat on demeaned and discredited. Tur was a foreign correspondent who came home to her most foreign story of all.FROM THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2017 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism
