Episode Description

Today's episode comes from a live event CNL held with Francis Fukuyama during our New Liberal Action Summit in Washington DC. Frank and I discuss whether or not the internet is to blame for the global rise of populism, how worried we should be about right wing control of the media, and what role young liberals have to play in solving these problems.
