Disinformation is everywhere. How did it get this bad?

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

Disinformation and misinformation in politics and the public square are not a new feature of American political discourse. But recently, the dissemination of falsehoods are reaching a wider, mainstream audience. Lee McIntyre, a Research Fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University, joins the show today. His books include How to Talk to a Science Denier. His latest book, Disinformation: How to Fight for Truth and Protect Democracy, explores the subject of disinformation and how to challenge its rise.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
