The Dangers to Democracy In A Digital World

With the election just over a month away, Americans are caught between a flood of political promises and the reality that we live in a time of political dysfunction. Navigating a presidential election in a digital world has proved difficult due to the widespread misinformation and different realities we live in online. To get to the root of this issue and emphasize the threat to democracy, Jon Stewart sits down with New York Times columnist and host of "The Ezra Klein Show" podcast, Ezra Klein, and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and co-host of "Your Undivided Attention" podcast Tristan Harris. They explore how social media's effective tactics of personalizing users' newsfeeds or "For You Page" alters public opinion on hot-button issues and what we need to do to close the gap between political spin and public need.
