For @guardian I wrote about the ways in which “heterodox” media figures popular with young men have gotten both more conservative and more cynical and conspiratorial about the system. Will their young male fans vote Republican— or simply stay home? theguardian.com/us-news/arti…

The heterodoxy: are ‘free thinkers’ like Joe Rogan driving young men to the right – or just...

Social media is currently inundated with speculation, conspiracy theories, hate, disinformation of all stripes about Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally. I investigate this and it has real-world consequences. Interrogate your sources and feeds - and wait for reliable updates.
