Amid this welter of news and "fake news," consumers and citizens are left confused and atomized. We even question whether there is such a thing as objective truth, or whether truth is subjective and meaningful as such to individual persons. Are there objective facts, "alternative facts," and credible evidence, or are these merely categories on which we decide based on perspective and ideology?
In The Age of Disinformation, philosopher Burton Porter uncovers various forms of deception, arguing that a well-informed citizenry is fundamental to a free and democratic society.
