Beyond the Big Lie

How and why do politicians lie? And how can we, the public, keep the facts in check–even in the face of increased mis- and disinformation online?

The Institute for Rebooting Social welcomes Bill Adair to discuss his forthcoming book, Beyond the Big Lie: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy (October 15, 2024). The conversation addresses the processes politicians use to skew information across the media landscape, the consequences these practices have on our democracy, and potential solutions to foster a healthier, more accurate political system.
