Passport Presents: MisInfoNation Cerca
-
- Society & Culture
There are things we think we know about countries. But viral videos, TikTok and 24 hour news has made everything we understand about other places somewhat misinformed, twisted or just downright incorrect.
Which is why, at Passport, we want to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out. We want to clear up some of the outright lies about nations we think we know by doing what we do best. Talking it out with someone who actually does know what they’re talking about.
Think of this as a kind of cultural mythbusters.
Welcome, to MisInfoNation.
