The New York Times reported on a new study from the Brookings Institution that found that War Room was the “the top peddler of false, misleading and unsubstantiated statements among political podcasts.” The report reviewed “36,603 podcast episodes from 79 political talk shows that had been released before Jan. 22, 2022.”
