Other reporters have frequently accused Zito of misrepresenting Republican Party officials as swing voters and of fabricating quotes in her reporting.[2][3][4] On at least three occasions, Zito has plagiarized content from other writers, including Wikipedia.[2]
Donald Trump praised The Great Revolt (2018), which she co-authored with Brad Todd.[5] Zito's 2025 book about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Butler, debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list,[6] and Zito sold the movie rights to Pensé Productions.[7]
Awards
In 2024, Zito received the Media Research Center Bulldog Award.[8]
