Anderson Cooper turns his journalistic lens on a disturbing trend in American culture this Sunday with “MisinfoNation: Extreme America.” This episode of “The Whole Story” examines how the spread of misinformation, fueled by technology and increasingly fragmented information consumption, is radicalizing individuals and pushing them towards extremism.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour heads out to explore the issue, sitting down with far-right extremists with lengthy histories of hate, speaking with individuals pardoned after the January 6th riots, and talking to a UFC fighter turned podcaster who regularly gives a platform to white supremacists. The report also takes us to Texas to meet a man who is teaching people how to print 3D guns at home.
