Synopsis: We live in an age when the 30-second TV spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorates thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any before it in sharing the truth with the citizenry. How did we get here? And how much damage has been done to the functioning of our democracy? Al Gore explains how the public sphere has evolved into a place hospitable to reasons enemies, and shows what we can do, individually and collectively, to restore the rule of reason and safeguard our future.
