Description
Angela Rye joins theGrio’s Natasha S. Alford to discuss her new weekly YouTube series, "Cite Your Source," which takes on politics, race and Black culture with a resident fact-checker — and a buzzer — ready to challenge misinformation in real time.
Rye opens up about why she believes today’s media landscape too often prioritizes conflict over informing audiences, the growing influence of bots and disinformation online, and why Black communities need spaces for honest disagreement grounded in facts.
She also talks about protecting her peace in the social media era, building a Black political agenda, her upcoming Black Papers policy project and what she believes Black voters should demand from elected officials ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Rye closes with a message urging voters not to wait until Election Day to cast their ballots.
"Cite Your Source" streams Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on YouTube.
