The devastating Los Angeles fires have claimed at least 24 lives, destroyed 12,000 structures, and displaced tens of thousands. The natural disaster is also sparking rampant misinformation and conspiracy theories about their cause. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber explores how these narratives gain traction and the broader implications of misinformation during crises with Ashley Banfield, anchor of Banfield on NewsNation and host of the new podcast Drop Dead Serious.
