Episode description

Jon Stewart tackles the growing claims of election interference, with Elon Musk joining Trump’s narrative. The episode explores how “free speech” is being weaponized by both figures. Jon also sits down with Bill Adair, creator of PolitiFact and Knight Professor of Journalism at Duke, to discuss his new book “Beyond the Big Lie.” They dive into fact-checking in the misinformation age, social media’s role in spreading falsehoods, and the government’s efforts to combat disinformation.
