Listen "TRC #545: What Gaslighting Is & Isn't + So-Called Facts + Loch Ness Monster Effect"
Episode Synopsis
With the term 'gaslighting' popping up everywhere (again), Adam looks into the origins of the term, what is and isn't considered gaslighting, and whether the cries that Trump is 'gaslighting America' fit the context. Cristina brings some needed levity after discovering an AskReddit thread listing people's most highly believable facts that turned out to be B.S. Finally, Darren explores how the idea of the Loch Ness Monster may have manifested in our collective consciousness.
