Ep. 165: Conspiracies, Bias, and the Changing Landscape of Political Debate with David Harsanyi

David Harsanyi, Senior Editor at The Federalist and author of The Rise of Blueanon, joins Joseph Backholm to explore the growing influence of conspiracy theories in modern politics. He discusses how political debate has shifted from rational discourse to emotionally driven arguments and how declining trust in main media institutions, combined with the fragmentation of media, amplifies misinformation and the creation of new conspiracy theories.
