for instance, alex jones is a promoter of all kinds of wild things. he also has a wildly successful line of supplements and vitamins. one thing very important for him is to tailor the government is literally poisoning you to sell supplements. so i think one thing we can do it as journalists is to say, this is a motivation that someone might have for promoting hysteria and to go from there. i also, i do not know their time is most profitably spent trying to persuade people not to believe what they really firmly believe. i just don't know how far we will get with that. >> but we are seeing this impact the american voting patterns. >> yes. >> this is not a denying phenomenon. >> it is not. again, i would say that when we build trust in civil society, when we rebuild that some of the stuff will dissipate on its own. but things like antenna vaccines, conspiracy theories and beliefs have to be addressed more directly.it kind of depends on the conspiracy theory. like the flat earthers, i don't know that they do anything, i find them frustrating but they cert

there is conspiratorial thinking right and left on the alex jones info wars there's been a lot of talk about who is covering that stuff in an objective way if you can speak about the nonpolitical reporting into the subject to question. maybe everything is becoming so politicized these days that it's hard but it's perhaps easier for historians to try to achieve objectivity to look at things more dispassionately. it's not that kind of immediate and visceral and it's also a little different because the scholarship is of course supposed to have an argument, but it's supposed to be an argument based on the evidence that you find and not on your personal hobby horse. but i think that this kind of the same approach journalists are supposed to take with objectivity in a modern way to get to the second question about science reporting. and then there's the other way to practice objectivity based on the reporting and knowledge to make a judgment. objectivity is an issue in any area of the news with foreign affairs or sports and entertainment but the tone gets sent from the coverage of the politi
