Last night on WHUT: PBS Frontline - United States of Conspiracy.
I haven't been able to get WHUT for ... gee, I can't remember when it last came in. Last night, it showed up (artifact from Trump's departure?). What should be on but this episode?
Tue Jan 12, 2021: Tonight on PBS Frontline - United States of Conspiracy.
Last week, a violent mob of President Donald Trumps supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol, as Congress met to formalize President-elect Joe Bidens victory.
Their siege was fueled by election disinformation and conspiracy theories voiced repeatedly by President Trump himself.
How did trafficking in conspiracy theories go from the fringes of U.S. politics into the White House and what does their ascent and amplification mean for the future of American democracy?
Tonight, dont miss an updated rebroadcast of FRONTLINEs July documentary examining how we became the United States of Conspiracy. From veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team, the film traces the alliance of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Trump advisor Roger Stone and the president, and their role in the battle over truth and lies.
WHUT will run this again next Sunday, January 24, at 8:00 p.m.
Maybe it's too soon to view a show about Alex Jones, Donald Trump, and Roger Stone. As I watched, I kept asking myself, "how did this happen?"
