It's our final episode, and the gang is all here. Beth, Elizabeth and Kelly join up for one last time to talk about all they've learned in the three plus years since I Can't Believe it's Not News began. Join us as we talk about our journey and how you can keep fighting fake news.

The Fathers of Fake News

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

We're back with our final episode of our series on the Family Tree of Fake News. This week we take a look at the fathers of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes. Both men have done extensive damage to media credibility and divided Americans into two sides. Join us as we discuss these two perpetrators of misinformation.

Slum Lords and White Saviors

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

This week, in our 'Fake New Family Tree' series we are focusing in on two white hot fake news overachievers - Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. Both contribute to the spread of misinformation from the most watched fake news platform, Fox News. The High Priest and Priestess of Hate make quite the iconic duo as they spin and weave a narrative of lies on a nightly basis to their misled fans.

Call Your Dad; the Government is a Cult!

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

This week we explore the broken branches of this fake news family tree- our current president and his Igor...I mean his VP. Trump and Pence may have literally nothing in common, but boy, are they willing to do anything to hang on to their current power. Lying is apparently perfectly fine, as long as you have God in your corner!

Limbaugh and Levine, the Duplicitous Duo

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

We're back! Beth and Kelly are off and running this week on part two of the new series on the greatest fake news makers of our time. This week we turn the dial over to the radio - where we look at Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. They're fightin' mad, as long as they don't actually have to leave the studio!

Fake News Family Tree, Part One

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

This episode Kelly and Beth take on a new series, where we look at fake news makers as opposed to the fake news itself. We think it's important to know who runs the behind the scenes for the fake news industry we see today. We begin by looking at some of the keystone components of fake news media - the John Birch Society and the Koch Brothers.

False Memories and Fake News

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

And we're back! This week Kelly and Beth talk about fake memories and how they play a role in fake news and possibly the future of politics. Much of our discussion is related to a study entitled False Memories for Fake News During Ireland’s Abortion Referendum published in the journal Psychological Science in August 2019. This study indicates that during a campaign people are most likely to believe fake news and/or form false memories if that story lines up with previously held beliefs of the participant.

Trigger warning/Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic violence, and violence against children. Please be aware before listening or reading further. Thank you.

When Fake News gets Personal

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

Hey listeners, this episode we are taking a brief moment to talk about something that happened to us after we posted the last episode. We received a bunch of comments on Facebook from people who definitely had not listened to our show, yet felt they had to reach out to tell us how horribly wrong we are. We've gotten a few of these comments before, but nothing like the 70+ comments we received this past time. Because of this, we decided to use this moment to address what happened.

Smokey Eyes and Black Mirrors

I Can't Believe it's Not News: A Podcast about Fake News

We're back! This week we're providing a fitting send off to one of our favorite lying liars by talking about - you guessed it! - the lies she's told us. Farewell Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and may the odds be ever in our favor...
