Today on the show, we’re going to tackle the crackdown on fake news sites. We’ll hear about the fake news pioneer that may have helped Trump get elected, how social media creates echo chambers, and how to learn people stuff. We’re also gonna talk about the Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year: post-truth.
