On today's 'BradCast': So many hoaxes, so little time. We are finally beginning to see some accountability for the countless rightwing lies and hoaxes that surged into a disinformation tsunami during the Trump Era.\xa0 Rightwing grifter Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's former aide, will be sentenced this week for unlawfully defying congressional subpoenas into his role in Trump's failed attempts to the steal the 2020 election. Rightwing hoaxster Alex Jones was ordered to pay $965 million in damages to parents of children murdered in 2012's Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. It is the second such verdict holding Jones accountable for his broadcast campaign falsely claiming the massacre was a hoax, and encouraging his followers to relentlessly harass the grieving parents over the last decade. Broadcast media reform advocate Sue Wilson of the Media Action Center explains the deeply toxic impacts of Jones' dangerous lies, and asks why is the rightwing hoaxster still allowed to broadcast over our public airwaves at all? Wilson details actions that concerned citizens can take, including pushing the FCC to enforce laws barring use of the public's airwaves to promote hoaxes that involve crime or murder.\xa0 In Arizona, far-right, voter-suppression friendly Attorney General Mark Brnovich opened a criminal investigation into the rightwing 'vote fraud' fraudsters True the Vote over material misrepresentations they made about the evidence they claimed to have in their fake documentary, '2000 Mules,' with convicted election fraudster Dinesh D'Souza. New polls show the Nebraska U.S. Senate race is surprisingly close between Democratic nominee retired U.S. Navy Admiral Mike Franken against incumbent Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley.
