The Hack Crash

America's history, distorted. A nation built on stories - some true, some rewritten, some entirely false. For centuries, America has wrestled with the truth—shaping, distorting, and, at times, outright fabricating it to fit political agendas, fuel wars, and create heroes. But in the digital age, where misinformation spreads faster than ever, the very concept of truth itself is unraveling. Post-Truth (formerly Hoax) is a deep dive into the history of deception in America, from the founding myths that shaped the nation to the modern forces that have turned fact into fiction. Each episode dissects a moment in history where the signal was lost, truth was distorted, and reality became negotiable.
