Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's topic, interesting one. Of course, all our topics are interesting, but this one, fake news. And it's a good follow-up to our last show when we talked about health and politics. So we should see how this one plays out. We've got a great, great crew who I love to recognize. Maddie Levine-Wolf, who's helping us today doing the recording.

Today, fake news. So it's going to be Clarence and I and Maddie are going to be discussing this topic. Boy, I'll tell you, I don't even know when the concept, Clarence, of fake news hit the scene.

You know, that's when a lot of people decide that, you know, they are going to add their opinions to whatever the topic was. And so, yeah, I just think that people now with the use of technology, everybody has an opinion. It doesn't matter. You know, you're going to express your opinion.
And there's going to be somebody out there that's going to believe what you believe. You know what I mean? But I think, Sam, when I saw this, when we were going to do this, a couple of things came to my mind. First of all, who really benefits from fake news? Yeah. Good question. And what is the real impact of fake news upon us as a society? I mean, those are the two things that happened for me.
So, you know, who would have benefits from fake news? I mean, you know, if it's not real, what is it?
