When Facts Become Political Weapons | Lincoln News
About this episode
Fact-checking in politics has become a lost art, with leaders increasingly resorting to conspiracy theories, blame-shifting, and AI-fueled misinformation instead of accountability. From the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool debacle—where fabricated vandalism claims led to dropped DOJ cases—to post-2020 election myths driving unnecessary voter ID laws, the erosion of shared truth is real and dangerous. When we can’t agree on basic facts, collaboration and community collapse. It’s time to demand evidence over echo chambers.
