The ISIS Propaganda Slowdown

ISIS built its following largely online, using social media to distribute beheading videos and screeds about a Western war against Islam and portray a utopian life in its territory. But according to a new report by The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, even as the presidential candidates continue to portray ISIS as an imminent threat, the group is actually losing territory and seeing its recruitment slow dramatically--and their propaganda is shifting in turn. Charlie Winter, Senior Research Fellow at The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, has been tracking ISIS propaganda for years. He talks with Bob about what the slowdown indicates about the future of the caliphate.
