A weekly program that reviews the most prominent rumors and lies circulated by media and social media, revealing the parties behind them, their political objectives, and their repercussions.
Polygraph
“Polygraph” is not a specific place or cultural site, but a term for a lie detector device. Its history dates to the early 20th century, with key development by figures like John Augustus Larson, who created an instrument to measure physiological responses believed to indicate deception. Today, it is primarily associated with forensic and security screenings, though its accuracy remains debated.
Arab Television
“Arab Television” broadly refers to the television broadcasting industry across the Arab world, which began with the launch of national channels in the 1950s and 1960s, such as Iraq’s Republic of Iraq Television (1956). Its modern history was profoundly shaped by the rise of pan-Arab satellite news networks in the 1990s, most notably Al Jazeera (founded in 1996), which revolutionized media by providing independent, 24-hour news and fostering widespread political debate across the region.
