SUMMARY:Is Truth Really Dead In America?
DESCRIPTION:Alternative facts\, fake news\, post-truth these phrases have flooded the American conversation over the past several years. But how bad is it really\, and what can we\, as a society and as individuals\, do to be better informed? WSU professor Steven Stehr investigates the roots and consequences of the erosion of truth\, with a focus on politics and science. From the rise of conspiracy theories to the echo chamber of social media\, Stehr leads a conversation that asks to what extent are we living in a post-truth world? Have both political parties used deception to their advantage? How does the use of knowledge and facts vary in different policy debates? Taking us through real-world examples of conspiracy theories\, junk science\, and fake news\, Stehr shows audiences how to find facts in a world of misinformation
