Trevor Noah: Who do you trust (when you don’t trust the news)?

Since his first night anchoring The Daily Show in 2015, Trevor Noah has used comedy to connect the dots between local events and global issues. In this episode, Brad and Trevor discuss the intersection of the news of the day and technology.  Focusing on the rise of disinformation, they explore how we become susceptible to it, the threat of ”cybertribes” that dehumanize and pit groups of people against each other, and how automobile regulation in the U.S. could hold answers to fixing the bugs that lead to disinformation’s viral spread.

The concept of tools vs weapons… is about victim vs privilege… healing ourselves helps us identify truth.

He is the last person that I would trust, and Microsoft, is not trust worthy at that as well.

Lol so trust trump 😂😂😂😂 ...Trevor is well read and honest journalist ❤🎉

@@erikserum9519 no, why would I trust Trump or Kamela? You are talking about people who swim in money, and big part of this whole corporation game - It is funny, how anything turns political and get to be sides all of the sudden. Last president or big figure I was able to remotely trust is Obama, after him.. all went into shambles.

@@erikserum9519 Not him, nor trump, or kamela, nor anyone would gain my trust. I'm not sure, why you assumed I would pick trump instead, or why this conversation took a turn and was headed in this direction, it is funny how when you are skeptical people assume, you support some crazy man, instead, like trump. The thing with Noah and all the likes of him (on both sides); they are part of the system, and he is working with a big corporation and hosted by one. Why would I trust him? Or Microsoft, or the crazy man or kamela? The closest thing to trust, if we want to talk about that was Obama, and it was a hard sell.
