This week's guest is Kerryman Donie O'Sullivan, who is the Disinformation, Technology and Politics correspondent for the American television network, CNN. His job entails rooting out the real 'fake news' on the internet as opposed to what Donald Trump describes as fake news. This involves attempting to track down who is spreading false information, particularly with a view to manipulating public opinion and impacting on the political system. Donie was employed in the wake of the 2016 presidential election when it emerged that false information from a number of sources, including Russia, had had an impact on the election of Donald Trump.
