The Sunday Epic: The Invention of Fake News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With world leaders feuding at the UN this past week and the approaching election season meaning misinformation is yet again everywhere, everyday, all at once, I got to thinking about this incredible Hidden History piece. To call this one an epic is a bit of an understatement—it’s the longest, most ambitious story we’ve ever run.
