Episode notes

Trust in Kenyan news just hit a joint-record high — 68%, tied for best of 48 countries surveyed. At the same time, 46% of Kenyans say they sometimes just switch the news off.

Both numbers are real. This episode runs one claim — the President's, from this week's Kenya Health Summit — all the way down to the primary documents. Real hidden-camera footage of Cambridge Analytica's own managing director. And the five questions we used to check everything here, so you can use them on us too.

Receipts over vibes. Always.
