4/5
One journalist compares sorting through "fake news" to "bathing in garbage," and, indeed, this documentary is a very tough sit, but it also offers tools for viewers to start identifying this poison. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/15/2020
Whether people are politically liberal, conservative or somewhere in between, the main takeaway from After Truth is that ... it's up to news audiences to be more pro-active in finding out the truth instead of believing stories at face value. Go to Full Review Lloyd Grove The Daily Beast 03/20/2020

Christina L @RT42912090 12/08/2024 They have to be kidding! Who decides what is disinformation or fake news? Apparently only the film makers. Brian Stelter? As I said, they have to be kidding! See more T B @RT14859509 11/26/2024 Why do i feel like this movie is disinformation? See more Xtine M @RT53599714 06/30/2024 Fake news about fake news. See more andrew k @RT40967692 07/20/2022 There are people who think that playing around with conspiracy theories is fun. Playing with reality. Pretending there's a plot in every dark corner. Even if they don't actually believe it, they don't realize that they help hold the door open for much darker and more dangerous things. And that they contribute to the collective intellectual erosion of our country. This shows a few of the ways that false information can be used as a deadly weapon. See more 06/29/2021 It's a well crafted piece that juxtaposes the fact that fake news exists, while sublimley elevating the Trump-Russia collussion narrative as fact, when we all know it was rubbish. See more 05/23/2021 Total propaganda. The "journalist" who starred in this rhetoric work for the biggest perpetrators of fake news. Save your time and educate yourself. Fake news is on mainstream media all the time. See more Read all reviews
