Facing Down the Firehose of Falsehoods (America Finding its Way)
Defending Objective Truths From Threats. The host for this episode is Stephanie Stoll Dalton. The guests for this episode are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
The panelists discuss how the current pause in the past president’s firehoses of falsehoods from him and his echoing media is an opportunity to work on restoring democratic values and build resilience. Panelists talk about ways to recognize the mendacity of conspiricism, distrust and extreme partisanship through their own experiences and knowledge. Panelists discuss who are informed citizens and why objective truth needs defending from threats. What are the threats that obstruct citizens’ ability to engage on the matters of self-government. They discuss how rules and institutions are key to Democracy — and how they are not. They examine how resilience is a strength in defending against the many conspiracies and falsehoods citizens receive and are threatened by today.
