Misinformation Spreads About Israel-Hamas War

On Last Call, Brian speaks with Ian Bremmer, President of global risk management firm Eurasia Group, about a hotly debated event in Gaza. Major publications like the New York Times and Associated Press ran a headline about 500 people killed after an Israeli airstrike on a hospital. Though they cited the Gaza spokesperson, the ensuing chaos on social media and on Capitol Hill demonstrated the need for verification in journalism. This is one of my favorite conversations we’ve had as it incorporates graphics that show the enraging headlines — and the protests breaking out over the Middle East.

I played an instrumental role in booking Bremmer, pitching the targeted angle of the segment, and calling the show live to ensure editorial accuracy in visual elements and timing.
