"The best way to combat real disinformation is not gate-keeping and algorithmic censorship. It’s asking tough questions and having real conversations."
On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Arthur Long of The Chicago Thinker joins the program to discuss the “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference and how The Chicago Thinker smoked some of "the most trusted names in news".
From The Chicago Thinker:
"This week, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) and The Atlantic magazine hosted a “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference, and we have to hand it to IOP Director David Axlerod for bringing in true experts on the subject. The conference featured some of America’s greatest purveyors of disinformation, such as Barack Obama, Brian Stelter, Anne Applebaum, and a few token conservatives, including Jonah Goldberg and Adam Kinzinger.
The media, government, and academia elites speaking at the conference weren’t expecting to be challenged as they self-righteously spewed more lies—but our team at the Chicago Thinker was prepared to hold them accountable.
Student journalists from the Chicago Thinker respectfully listened, asked honest questions, and reported. Our efforts soon went viral, garnering millions of views on social media. We successfully turned the IOP’s “Disinformation Conference” on its head and sparked a national conversation about the corporate media’s disinformation.
If this week has taught us anything, it’s that the regime media is incredibly fragile. If a couple hard-hitting questions from college students can rattle the elites to such a degree, just think what would happen if our peers at other universities follow our lead.
Here’s how we smoked some of America’s most corrupt, partisan liars."
