EPISODE 2 - From Russia with love: Putin's interference in the US election

Russian agents continue to meddle in American politics. Libertarians ally with Trump. JD Vance weaponised the "white working class". Harris shouldn't avoid the press.

In this episode:
- Russian interference and Tenet Media: paying American right-wing influencers to do what they already do; pro-Trump commentator Dave Rubin’s journey from left to right, or why libertarians ally with the far right.

- Operation Doppelganger: impersonating mainstream media and mixing fact and fiction to sow division in US domestic politics.

- JD Vance: from darling of mainstream shows to far right politician; Vance’s right-wing nationalism and the “white working class” narrative.

- No need to avoid the press: Kamala Harris and her first TV interview with CNN.
