Host Reed Galen is joined by Barbara McQuade (Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School and Former U.S Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan) to discuss the nefarious intent of disinformation campaigns, how its use has been exponentially increasing over the past decade, and why it poses such a threat to our nation’s  democracy. Plus, why education can be one of the most powerful tools to combat disinformation. For more on this, be sure to check out Barbara McQuade’s latest book, Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America. For more from Reed Galen, be sure to subscribe to “The Home Front”.
