YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Court of History's Sidney Blumenthal & Sean Wilentz are joined by Renée DiResta, professor, writer, and former research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory, to explore the rise of the social media cult that thrives on misinformation and disinformation. Together, they examine how the right wing weaponizes lies, smears, and distortions under the guise of “free speech,” creating an ecosystem of manipulation and control. DiResta, a leading expert on pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and state-sponsored information warfare, also discusses her powerful new book Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies Into Reality. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the architects of deception who shape our political and cultural landscape.
