I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

In this episode Beth and Kelly dive into a good question... are books fact checked? And if so, by who? And if not.... why not?

Kelly also recommended a book for the episode - except it's more of the book the episode is about. Kelly read Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff because we had some questions. Mainly - is this book fake news?

Spread jam, not lies.

In this episode Beth and Kelly discuss the question of how journalists should approach reporting lies in the era of fake news, and since we are talking about lies - how about the biggest liar of the year according to Factcheck.org.... our very own King of the Whopper.

We also introduce a song of the episode, and Kelly has a book recommendation for you all. So grab some whoppers, or a Whopper, and settle in - this one is a whopper of an episode.

In this episode Beth and Kelly discuss the documentary "Trumping Democracy: Real Money, Fake News, Your Data." In this boring, yet terrifying documentary (It's like doing your taxes!) it traces how reclusive billionaire Robert Mercer - and his gang of evil masterminds - Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and David Bossie used Breitbart and another company controlled by Mercer - Cambridge Analytica - to find voters for Trump - and then target them with fake news by using "dark posts" on facebook. Yes, this is all real. Yes, it does seem like a plot from Scooby Doo, just minus the "pesky kids" that save the day.

In this episode Beth and Elizabeth talk about some of the more nuanced fake news that liberals are likely to overlook. We talk memes that speak to our confirmation bias. Either we believe them, they make us laugh, we don't think they hurt anyone, or they are just too gross to research (we know, we can't un-see it either).

We also review the changes Google is making to help fight fake news and the consequences from it - is it censorship or something less frightening?
