3/5

Rossi and Stelter tell a compelling story - one that you wish was fake news. This has devastating human costs and it appears too big to fail.

"After Truth" does a good job of exposing the problem. What we need now, more than ever, is a solution.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
