How did the online harassment of a Saturday Night Live comedian paved the way to a Trump White House?

Or how did people in Georgia use Facebook to run a black teacher out of town?

And what does any of this have to do with our democracy?

The answer is the Internet. They're all instances where women were targeted by an online hate mob.

And this kind of thing has been steadily creeping from our computer screen into our wider political landscape.

I'm Brigitte Todd and on my new podcast Internet Hate Machine,

I'll be charting how the harassment and abuse of women and other traditionally marginalized people online

has led us to our current political health game and what we can do about it.

I'm time on to you and I'm the host of calling bullsh**t the first podcast about purpose-washing,

where we dig into the difference between what companies say they stand for and the actions that they're taking.

Let's call BS on companies that deserve it, but also make some suggestions for cleaning that BS up.
