Former President Obama said the lines between propaganda and journalism are become increasingly "blurred," according to excerpts of an interview released early Saturday.

Biographer Ron Chernow interviewed Obama ahead of a virtual gala on Tuesday, when the former president will accept the "Voice of Influence Award" from free-speech advocacy and literary expression organization PEN America.

"The lines have blurred now between propaganda and what we would consider journalism in a way that has been described as truth decay," Obama told Chernow in the interview.

"You’ve got an epistemological problem where people don’t know now entirely what’s true and what’s not, and the old authorities and curators of what is factual are greatly weakened.
