I’m joined by Gleb Tsipursky, Co-Founder, of the Pro-Truth Pledge.
In a week that has seen that Russia used hundreds of fake accounts to tweet about Brexit, we look at the psychology around Fake news and demonising legitimate media scrutiny.
Are we are facing a systematic danger for our democracy with Alabama front-runner Senate candidate Roy Moore calling The Washington Post “fake news” after the newspaper published a thorough investigative report of his sexual improprieties. He forms just part of a broader pattern of prominent public figures using the label of “fake news” to denounce mainstream media stories they do not like.
