From the Yalta Conference to the centrist Dwight Eisenhower administration, members of the far-right feel a sense of betrayal as the country integrates and embraces separation of church and state, laying the foundation for a paranoid style of politics and a flight from fact. Learn more about your ad choices.

First Blood

Pulitzer-Prize winning and best-selling historian Jon Meacham and esteemed guests explore the history and origins of the strong grip misinformation and disinformation have on our politics. Meacham will trace the roots of America’s prevailing culture of polarization, with an emphasis on why the right has chosen to break with a governing consensus that, however imperfect, was once embodied by the figurative conversation between Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Fate of Fact offers a historically grounded perspective on the forces that led to the presidency of Donald Trump and the insurrection of January 6, 2021—an attack on the Capitol and on democracy as grave as any American moment since the Civil War.
Fate of Fact is an Audacy original presented in partnership with Shining City Audio.
