QAnon Qrazy with Will Sommer & Gianmarco Soresi (Ep 175)

Millions of Americans believe in the QAnon conspiracy. Some of them have committed extreme acts of violence, and most of them don't know how streaming services work which let's be real would probably fill a lot of their idle time. Journalist Will Sommer joins Francesca to talk about his new book Trust The Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America. Also, another mass shooting in a school and this time, the right is blaming trans people. And the CEO of TikTok bears down all of Congress' offensive anti-China questions with no honest look at the hypocrisy of banning an app that functions in the same way as all other social media platforms. And finally, a game of "Two News and a Lie" to test if we we can still tell fact from fiction on the worst timeline of stories.
