Can truth still win in American politics?

Glenn Kessler spent years as The Washington Post’s lead fact-checker, tracking false claims, political spin, and misinformation from presidents, candidates, and Congress. In this must-watch conversation with Matt Robison, Kessler explains why he believes falsehoods are winning—and whether truth can still fight back.

We discuss:

• Why lies spread faster than facts
• Donald Trump, media incentives, and political misinformation
• Why fact-checking became easier to ignore
• The biggest Trump lies and why they worked
• How social media changed political reality
• Whether journalism failed the moment
• Can democracy survive when truth becomes optional?
• Why Glenn Kessler still believes truth can win

This is a smart, candid, and urgent conversation about politics, media, democracy, Trump, misinformation, and the future of accountability.
