Apple's New Watch; ISIS Fragments; Dishonesty and Deception

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 10, 2015

Apple launched its new watch yesterday. Engadget's Terrence O'Brien discusses the details of the watch (price, battery life, function, apps). Plus: reports from the fight against ISIS -- which some reports say is fragmenting from within -- from both the front lines and the Pentagon; the new documentary "Merchants of Doubt" explores the world of "pundits for hire" -- the film's director Robert Kenner discusses these so-called experts who are hired to spread confusion about topics like climate change and chemicals; the links between lasting love and lies; and your calls on whether you've ever lied to yourself.
