During this hour I guest host "The Leslie Marshall Show."

I'm joined by Political Strategist Brad Bannon and callers as we discuss the following subjects:

-How a fake news story/conspiracy theory nearly cost innocent people their lives in Washington D.C. this past Sunday

-The role played by President-Elect Trump’s national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (and his son), in spreading this fake news on Twitter

-How we’ve gotten to a point where fake news is being taken as fact by a substantial number of Americans

-What we can do as Americans to fight back against the spread of fake news

Brad Bannon runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.

Brad is also a senior adviser to and contributing editor for Tiller4you.com, the social media network for politics.

He lectures in Political Science at Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts.

Brad's Twitter handle is @BradBannon and his website is www.BannonCR.com.
