From allegations of stolen elections to falsehoods about political leaders and public crises, misinformation continues to pollute America’s political discourse. Why do political rumors persist, even after they’ve been thoroughly debunked?
Join political scientist Adam Berinsky for a conversation on his book Political Rumors: Why We Accept Misinformation and How to Fight It. Berinsky and Yanna Krupnikov will explore what fuels political rumors, from conspiratorial thinking to partisan loyalty. Learn how misinformation takes hold and how its spread can erode trust in facts that threaten democratic governance. Tune in to unpack why we’re all vulnerable to political rumors, what makes them so difficult to combat, and what strategies are most effective in an age of information overload and partisan divide.
