Previously on American Thought Leaders, you couldn't find a hundred people in Washington DC who could

meaningfully talk to you about disinformation in 2014. Now of course there's a dozen of them

in every room that you enter because there's so much money and so much government power behind it.

In part one of my interview with Jacob Siegel, senior editor at Tablet Magazine,

government and the technology sector as it exists now. The danger is that in competing with China

we become like China and that's what has been happening so far.

lockdowns or investigations into the origins of the coronavirus. It may seem like a stretch,

it may seem like a kind of leap across a chasm but in fact I think that there is

much more continuity than there is discontinuity and as evidence of that I would point to the fact

that the single most I would say significant whole of society initiative carried out by the

counter disinformation enterprise was the 2020 election integrity partnership.
