When addressing misinformation in the modern world there really is no clear place to start documenting it. Nor does there appear to be any end to the supply of inaccurate information. This episode focuses on QAnon, an unknown individual or group, that posts on anonymous message board, sending out vague assertions and meaningless strings of letters and numbers that are presented as secret messages. These assertions are then interpreted by followers as to portend a societal upheaval that will lead to mass arrests and a transformation of society. There is little to no evidence that supports these ideas or claims, but that doesn't stop millions of Americans from believing and acting upon them.
