BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
It’s been nearly six months since the attack on the U.S. Capitol and tonight Anthony Everett asks, are the divisions between Republicans and Democrats as stark as they seem? And what happens when political misinformation spreads unchecked? Anthony talks to the author of “The Hype Machine,” a new book that explores the promise and peril of social media, and sits down with Attorney General Maura Healey, who is calling for stronger federal regulation of tech platforms. We also explore the impact that misinformation has on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. And, is there reason for hope? Hands Across the Hills is a group of progressives from tiny Leverett, Mass., forging friendship and understanding with conservatives in rural Kentucky.
