What’s the difference between misinformation and plain ol’ lies? - a podcast by Marketplace

We got that question from a listener and today, as Facebook’s own Oversight Board handed down a decision on banning Donald Trump, seemed like the right day to pick it apart. Along with the lexicon of dishonesty, we’ll answer your questions about record-high lumber prices and “green hydrogen.”

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “Facebook’s Oversight Board upholds ban on Trump. At least for now.” from The Washington Post


• “How to report responsibly on hacks and disinformation” (PDF) from Stanford University


• “What part of a new house costs 4 times as much as a year ago? Lumber!” from “Marketplace”


• “Lumber Prices Soar, But Logs Are Still Dirt Cheap” from Bloomberg


• “President Biden says green hydrogen is key to a lower emissions future. So, what is it?” from “Marketplace Tech”
