MisinfoNation: Extreme America
CNN Senior Correspondent Donie O'Sullivan returns with a new installment in his Emmy® nominated MisinfoNation series as he investigates the rise of extremism in "MisinfoNation: Extreme America."
Over the last two years, O'Sullivan has traveled the country investigating the pervasive surge of misinformation targeting Americans and has reported everywhere from the Republican and Democratic national conventions to Mike Lindell's pillow factory, a QAnon church, and a JFK conspiracy convention. In his new report on the 30-year anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, O'Sullivan looks at the changing face of extremism in the United States. Thirty years ago, radical ideas and the search for like-minded extremists took time and effort, but now – with just a click – hate and paranoia is served to millions of Americans every day through algorithms and social media.
"From the pardoning of January 6 rioters to the celebrating of the murder of a healthcare CEO, how Americans are talking about violence is changing," O Sullivan said. "In this episode we look at how the media we are consuming is radicalizing us."
In "MisinfoNation," O'Sullivan travels across the country meeting far-right extremists with a long history of hate, talks to pardoned January 6 rioters, and encounters a new generation of radicalized Americans justifying the murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He examines how the ongoing revolution in technology and information consumption is radicalizing us, meets a UFC fighter turned podcaster who platforms white supremacists, and visits a Texas man helping people print 3D guns at home.
