From ‘alternative facts’ to political lies to the disinformation
that courses through social media, the ‘post-truth’ phenomenon
threatens the foundations of democracy. Politicians and
ideologues are ramping up mistrust in our institutions using
unchecked digital media. How can we hold onto democratic guardrails
in a world shaped by politically-driven deceit and manipulation?
Eliot Higgins is the founder of Bellingcat, the investigative
journalism group specialising in the use of open-source
intelligence in order to separate facts from falsehoods and
disinformation. He joins Gavin Esler to discuss what’s at stake in
the battle for truth. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is
