The Evolving Reality of Bipartisanship

Donald Trump is often labeled a threat to democracy – but could political myths perpetuated by ordinary Americans be just as much of an issue? Millions of voters confidently cling to political myths as if they were hard truths, unaware that they’re propping up the fake news they claim to hate. In this episode of The Bunker, Chris Jones speaks with Dr. Casey Burgat, host of Mastering the Room and author of We Hold These Truths: How to Spot the Myths That Are Holding America Back, to examine the heart of misinformation, its far-reaching effects on democracy, and the fundamental misconceptions shaping America.
