SUMMARY:Finding Trusted News Sources in the Disinformation Era with Red Wine & Blue
DESCRIPTION:Several newspapers recently reported that U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is sounding the alarm about a new report on the abortion pill\, mifepristone. \nThere is just one problem – the report Sen.

How do we tell bad information from good? \nRed Wine & Blue members have asked for help\, and by popular demand\, we have the answer! Veteran journalist and Stanford professor Janine Zacharia is going to show us how to separate disinformation from the facts and which outlets are really reporting the news. Join the conversation about finding trusted news sources on Thursday with Red Wine & Blue. \nRSVP for “Finding Trusted News Sources in the Disinformation Era” on Thursday\, May 22\, at 7:30PM ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to know more?
