EP 91. Fake news and the 2024 Campaign: What Can We Believe Anymore?
Description
In an era of artificial intelligence and increasingly complex misinformation, how can we navigate what is true this election year? This year, campaigns are engaged in another cycle of misleading and, at times, dissuading Americans from voting.
We dive into the topic of misinformation in modern political campaigns with renowned reporter and author Sasha Issenberg. In his new book, "The Lie Detectives," Issenberg goes back to the use of misinformation as far back as the Thomas Jefferson presidential campaign, and how the tactic has evolved with the internet and social media.
The conversation explores the impact of false information on public opinion and the integrity of elections, highlighting real-world examples and the role of social media platforms in the dissemination of misleading content. Issenberg's expertise sheds light on how both parties are doing this and the consequences for the democratic process.
