Maggie also is a wealth of wisdom about journalism and fake news, and we talk with her about a range of subjects from the game, to whether journalists like lawyers editing their articles, to the templates the fake news brigades were using in France to create meme's about Macron. She also has a few great quotes up her sleeve. We end the episode with a review of one of the fake news articles from the game. It's a good time, so join us!
