We Are Drowning in Disinformation — Michael Klein, Director of Analysis Alethea Group — #146

November 8, 2021

From QAnon to Anti-vaxx nonsense, from Stop the Steal to the CRT moral panic, the US is awash in disinformation. It comes to us via Facebook, in barbershops, from group chats, and sermons from the pulpit. It drives acts of violence and fuels political polarization.

This week we were joined by Michael Klein. He works as a Director of Analysis at Alethea Group. We discussed the history of disinformation, vectors for its spread, and how you should respond when people in your circles start going down disinformation rabbit holes.
