Why truth is on the ballot this November

  • Summary

  • In a world of social media echo chambers, misinformation and partisan media, the lines between truth and lies are blurrier than ever.

    Jonathan Rauch knows this well - he's the author of The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth, which describes the crisis in our society, in which we are no longer divided based on different opinions but on other realities.

    Malcolm and Jonathan discuss the norms and rules of reality-based politics and journalism and how communities interact to seek the truth.

    Rauch argues that left-wing-cancel culture and right-wing disinformation are now each other's best friends. Truth in politics is on the ballot in November.
