Johan Farkas mapped post-truth discourses comprehensively and subjected them to a searching examination in his book with Jannick Schou. In this episode and the previous one, we touch upon the understanding of democracy that is implicit in the mainstream post-truth narrative, the predicament and role of journalism, social media and filter bubbles, the lessons of Covid-19 and a host of related issues.
Highlights
Regulating social media and big-tech
Role of the elites
How discourses influence politics
