Misinformation is everywhere and the burden is on all of us to avoid being duped. In this lecture, Jonathan Axelrad will analyze two articles on the same topic taken from The New York Times and Fox News to illustrate some key misinformation techniques, red flags to help the reader identify misinformation, and the fact that misinformation can vary from relatively mild "bias" to actual "fake news."
Co-sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Division and the Foothill-De Anza Foundation
