A seed of doubt can purchase the truth. In this episode, Bill Stierle and Tom discuss the right-wing website, Revolve, and how it implied that the FBI planned the January 6th attack. It planted skepticism by posing multiple questions to the readers. In doing so, it leads readers away from knowing whether the accusation is true or not and instead makes you focus on the hypothetical. Didn’t we see this in the early 2000s when the auto industry conspired to put out messaging that planted seeds of doubt into people's minds about electric vehicles, and they managed to kill the budding industry? Join in the conversation and be vigilant regarding doubt and skepticism.
