The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America

Known for providing incisive progressive political analysis without being dogmatic, popular radio and podcast host David Pakman delves into the vicious cycle of reactionary political ideology.

If there is one thing the 2024 election cycle showed us, it’s how the right-wing has benefited and capitalized on disinformation and the polarization of US politics. Critical thinking and media literacy are on a rapid decline, and our republic is unable to agree upon a shared set of facts.

Infused with Pakman’s signature pragmatic insight and examples from real-world debates, The Echo Machine is an invitation to think, question, and understand how we got to this point and what we can do to mend our broken system. Readers will learn how our political system has transformed into a toxic echo chamber, why leftism offers a better path forward to society’s most pressing issues, and how we can improve discourse with critical thinking, media literacy, and public education.

Deeply researched and accessibly written, Pakman’s work calmly cuts through the alarmist noise to inspire readers across the political spectrum to break out of our toxic political echo chambers and ultimately save our democracy.
