Today's episode is about lies, and how demagogues on the right and left use them to rewrite history and influence the masses. We start with a discussion of how self-proclaimed "socialist" podcast Chapo Trap House lied about the history of the liberal blogosphere (and John by name) in its new book, and then segue to Donald Trump's latest bogus attacks on Google and the recent death threat to the Boston Globe.
