Description

Masks are dangerous to wear? Nope. Coronavirus case numbers inflated? Not true. Fake testing? False. It turns out it’s harder than most people realize to stop a fake news cycle once it has hit social media. How does it all start and who is responsible for calling it out? We all have a role to play to stop the proliferation of news that is not only fake but dangerous. A lot of false information about the coronavirus is parading around as fact and people are buying into it. This week Florida’s Fourth Estate podcast hosts Ginger Gadsden and Matt Austin spoke with Dr. Chrysalis Wright, a fake news expert and professor at the University of Central Florida.
