Ben Collins of NBC News joins DOOMED with Matt Binder to discuss Facebook banning "dangerous" users like Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, and others. We take a look at how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the internet in general is radicalizing the next generation of the far right, how the right wing grifters are the real life modern day manifestation of the cliche carny, the future of fake news and deepfakes, and more. Plus, in the patron only half of the show: your questions, comments, and more.
