Episode Synopsis

You’ve heard this before.   “If it on the internet then it must be true, and you can’t question it,” said Abraham Lincoln.    Okay, that’s not true at all.  Lincoln didn’t say that, and the reality is that some of what you see online is twisted, bent, and pushed in a way to make you completely believe something that’s not real at all.   Aaron Sharockman, the executive director of PolitiFact, joins Greg Angel and Gary Darling for a deep dive into social media and how you can actually apply some fact-checking forensics for yourself.  In This Episode Aaron Sharockman's Twitter: @asharock About This Podcast Political figures and influencers are often heard in brief bites that don’t capture the context of the whole story. “Central Florida: Beyond the Soundbite” expands the conversation with these newsmakers along the I-4 corridor and beyond.
