Yes but no. What happens is, an actual journalist does their job and people get up in arms. Commercial media will slowly start to cover the topic. In this case, the audio will come out and the world is aghast. Commercial media will interview Trump or his cabinet and ask "how do you respond to the rumors of this audio?" As if the audio isn't real and as if we've not all heard it. Like it's an anomalous thing that he's accused of like a case of he said-she said between rival politicians. Like it's not obviously real and factual. That's how it gets covered.

i was thinking broadcast media. I suppose a book is media, but does it reach a broad audience?
