PolitiFact Founder Explains the “Epidemic of Lying” in American Politics

Season 2024 Episode 7078 | 18m 12s

As Americans gear up for the election, Bill Adair warns of an "epidemic of lying" in U.S. politics -- particularly within the Republican Party. Adair joins the show to discuss his new book "Beyond the Lie." As founder of the fact-checking website PolitiFact, Adair is well placed to account for where disinformation comes from, how it spreads and the danger it poses to democracy.
