Listen "EPISODE 30: The Anatomy of a Fact"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we examine the ”fact-checkers.”
They claim to be non-partisan... is this true? And who funds them?
We also talk about how words are often manipulated to turn a truth into a lie.
Why did we decide to talk about fact-checkers? Because truth matters.
We live in a world that tries to lead with lies, but freedom is not found in lies, it is found in truth.
Truth has no agenda. Lies always do.
