Trending Towards Violence with Charlie Warzel
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Jon is joined by Charlie Warzel, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of its "Galaxy Brain" newsletter. Together, they explore how algorithms distort the way we experience these tragic events while rewarding the most extreme reactions, investigate the online ecosystems that can radicalize individuals, and consider whether our responses to violence perpetuate the very cycles we condemn.
