Right-wing extremism, post-truth America, and media literacy converge in my conversation with David Pakman. Pakman is a prominent political commentator and the host of The David Pakman Show, with over three million YouTube subscribers. Known for his insightful arguments and approachable style, Pakman tackles complex social issues, educating us on the complex and nuanced sociopolitical landscape. Disclosure: I watch his show regularly and was a guest twice. In our conversation, he discusses key insights from his latest book, The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America, delving deeply into how decades of deliberate erosion of media literacy and critical thinking have contributed to our current rise into a landscape where fiction parades as the truth. It is a very intelligent, well researched and argued book. I recommend it highly. In this episode, we explored how modern media operates like a high-control group, using subtle brainwashing tactics and influence to shape beliefs and paralyze civic action. We started our conversation with what seems to be at the forefront of everybody's mind: Donald Trump.  This was an important interview. Come give a listen! Learn more about your ad choices.

On this, the eve of “Liberation Day,” as key House and judicial races loom, we're joined by David Pakman to discuss his new book, The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America. Pakman argues that conservative media and politicians have constructed a parallel reality that undermines Americans' ability to think critically. But Pakman is also pressed on whether certain narratives on the left are similarly misleading, and if so, how much they contribute to the broader erosion of public trust.

David Pakman (host, “The David Pakman Show,” and author, “The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss how right-wing media built a post-truth movement that helped propel Trump's political dominance. They explore why conservative digital platforms are outperforming liberal ones, how the left's messaging failures have contributed to election losses, and what needs to change. Pakman and Cuomo also examine the appeal of the manosphere, the role of masculinity in modern politics, and how perception has overtaken reality in the public discourse.
