Summary
Something odd has been happening to the once wonderful On The Media podcast for quite awhile. But finally, is has utterly capitulated its journalistic integrity, falling prey to its own ideological and editorial blind spots, omitting facts, reducing complex topics to black/white oversimplifications, and indulging in, frankly, toxic and irresponsible hyperbole. OTM has, alas, become a parody of itself. It has lost its way as a nuanced and fair-minded source of thoughtful journalism and become an organ of propaganda.
Today, we examine one of its most recent episodes to see where 'the new journalism' technique of omitting important data that might contradict the preferred narrative reaches its apotheosis: a total smear job on the Depp vs. Heard trial.
Alas, poor OTM: we knew (and loved) you well.
