About this episode

The episode discusses the authenticity of a reported shooting related to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and the surrounding conspiracy theories.

The show also dives headfirst into the Question of the Day, asking listeners whether they believe the reported shooting connected to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was real or staged. While law enforcement has confirmed a suspect and dismissed claims of a hoax, misinformation and conspiracy theories spread rapidly online, fueled by distrust in institutions and the surreal nature of the incident itself.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
