Dogs, Cats, and a Very Online Campaign

The Weekly Roundup

This week, we discuss the second attempted assassination of Donald Trump and who’s most responsible for rhetoric that encourages political violence.

Then, we’ll discuss the spreading rumors about migrants eating pets, Trump’s very online campaign, and the attempt to backfill outright lies with spurious evidence of plausibility.

Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we talk about how articles on Wikipedia are manipulated and why you should beware of what you read there.

Joining Ron Steslow on this week’s panel:  Andy Kroll (Investigative Reporter at ProPublica) Craig Snyder (Fmr. Chief of Staff for Sen. Arlen Specter)
