Hillary Clinton says fake news puts “innocent lives” at risk and compels a top-down response, while Maxim Lott counters “it’s not clear that we need it at all.”

Lott is a supervising producer for John Stossel and the creator of ElectionBettingOdds.com, which offers an alternative to pundits, predictors, and polls. As someone who works in conventional media and follows its evolution closely, he not only speaks to its accuracy but has offered a way around media spin.
