Episode 14: How to spot misinformation (feat. Mike Caulfield)

from Unspun · host Amanda Sturgill

In this week's UnSpun, Dr. Sturg and author Mike Caulfield discuss how to keep yourself safer from the misinformation effect by being more aware of your own relationship to the facts you seek. Plus, Dr. Sturg goes over what a reporter means when she says "on the record" and gives some examples of false authority, which is when someone is put forward as an expert, but really doesn't have the expertise at hand.  Follow Mike CaulfieldMike's book: Verified CAIR Report on Oklahoma CityVideo of Washington Post reporter telling Project Veritas rep. she is being recorded Follow Dr. SturgTwitter -Prof. Amanda Sturgill (@DrSturg) / XWebsites -Sturg says|Unspun’s SubstackQuestions and [email protected].
