How to Push Back Against Propaganda
Disinformation is the scourge of our time
Ruth Ben-Ghiat
"how can we push back against propaganda in real time, whether you are on television, at a public event, or just speaking to a family member? When we hear a lie, our instinct is to correct it with the truth, but this enters us into a situation of 'he said, she said.' Instead, we might try a tactic that I call 'exposing the device': rather than refute the lie, talk about the reason the lie exists - what larger political goals it serves."
