Watch Again: Day Three of United Facts of America

PolitiFact Managing Editor Katie Sanders and Senior Correspondent Jon Greenberg get you ready for the final day of United Facts of America live from Washington, D.C.

Welcome and opening remarks

COVID vaccine debates emphasized how critical physicians are to fighting misinformation, whether locally in their own communities or nationally on television. Join American Medical Association President Dr. Jack Resneck in a one-on-one conversation with Kaiser Health News Partnerships Editor and Senior Correspondent Mary Agnes Carey.

Meet the latest fact-checker: Your doctor

In the months leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, CNN&rsquo;s Donie O&rsquo;Sullivan traveled the country reporting on the role conspiracy theories were playing in voters' attitude to the election and to the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also reported live from outside the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. Donie, who will be joined in a one-on-one conversation with PolitiFact&rsquo;s Editor-in-Chief Angie Holan, has become a leading expert at tracking and identifying online disinformation campaigns targeting the American electorate, and how social media platforms, Congress, and the American intelligence community are responding to the threat of disinformation and troll campaigns.

The real world of online misinformation

What happens when millions of people rally around an absurd conspiracy? The Birds Aren&rsquo;t Real satirical conspiracy gives us important clues. Co-Founder Peter McIndoe shares his insights as part of a revealing conversation with fact-checkers worldwide.

How a fake fight against birds became a very real movement

Go behind the scenes with Tegna&rsquo;s VERIFY fact-check team to see how local television stations are trying to combat the spread of misinformation through innovative video and a viewer-focused approach.

When seeing can be believing

As bad as the misinformation ecosystem may seem in English, it may be worse in Spanish in the United States. Fewer journalists, even fewer fact-checkers and less investment from social media companies has created a climate where conspiracies can often thrive. What can we do about it? PolitiFact Deputy Editor Miriam Valverde leads a discussion with Brittny Mejia of the Los Angeles Times and Lesley Cosme Torres of the Miami Herald.

Conspiracies grow everywhere. In Spanish, they often flourish unchecked.

Fact-checkers are sifting through thousands of pieces of content online every day, looking for viral claims that may contain conspiracies or misinformation. What are they seeing, and how can you be better prepared for what you encounter in your daily life? MediaWise Director Alex Mahadevan interviews three journalists managing fact-checking programs across North America, Christina Anagnostopoulos of Reuters, Arthur MacMillan of Agence France-Presse and Martina Stewart of USA Today.
