YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAmerica appears to be in free fall and 30% of the country seems on board for a million decisions they didn’t vote for and will only hurt them? How is that possible? David Pakman joins us to talk about his new book, instant New York Times bestseller, The Echo Machine: How Right Wing Extremism Created a Post Truth America, which addresses how the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics has done such destruction to our nation and what can be.
Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.
