“We need to think carefully about our current political systems and how what we believe are their strengths can be used to undermine them.”

“Can’t believe the stupidity of previous reviewers who miss the entire point of this (section of) the show: that the era of facile manipulation of public opinion is here; that it’s far too easily done by paying off crooked Russian lawyers, online product reviewers, troll farms or even malign state...”Read full review »

“What a fantastic piece of work that is so important for everyone to hear. Your findings do not surprise me at all and sadly support the beliefs I have held since I first saw the level of vitriol directed towards Amber. I hope at least some of those who have been misled will take the time to...”Read full review »

“I should have liked this podcast. When I was watching the trial play out on social media it did feel like many of the posts were inorganic. This show gives some convincing evidence that some of it was, and covers some interesting side stories along the way. However, I don’t think the question is...”Read full review »

“Just listened to season 10 (who trolled Amber). Excellent reporting and journalism. Even if you’re familiar with the trial and not on “Amber’s side” this podcast is about more than just that and unveils some troubling aspects of social media and bots that we should all be concerned about.”

“This is an important piece of journalistic work. In this day and age it is clearly dangerous to believe what you see on social media.
I think this is a good case to put a spotlight on misinformation as so many people are aware of the case.
Not sure if the reviews who claim bias listened to the...”Read full review »

“I was constantly shocked by the support for Johnny Depp on social media - this explains so much. No doubt in my mind something fishy was going on. So sad for Amber Herd and how she was treated. Everyone who followed along needs to listen to this podcast!”

“Like many of the 1 star reviews, I actually watched the trial. Many of the 5 star reviews admit to not even watching it. I was so ready to root for Amber when the trial started but was so disappointed when the evidence clearly reflected the fact that Amber was the abuser in the relationship.”

“This was a great series. I didn’t follow the trial much but the social media blasts about it struck me as odd, even if I wasn’t engaging with the content it was served up on every channel. This investigation helps explain why, and I think we all need to take a closer look at where our info is...”Read full review »

“To say Amber lost because of bots is a red herring. Take all the bots’ opinions away - heck, take all legit accounts’ opinions away - and your left with Amber’s own words and the evidence at trial. This podcast feels like a pathetic media campaign attempt but I guess what else can she do?”

I watched the trials at length and full. Amber created the...”Read full review »

“May I remind you, Tortise producers, that the depp v heard trial was broadcast to US ALL…. those who watched it, in real time, NOT fragmented on TikTok or filtered through hateful lenses on either side, know exactly who the victim was here. It is indeed MR DEPP. The jury agreed. You were there...”Read full review »

“I was home from work with Covid and watched the trial. Johnny Depp is a strange character, but harmless and likable. Amber came off as fake, unhinged, and terribly unlikable. What she did in that bed was beyond disgusting. She deserves her reputation.”

“I don’t use social media and don’t care about either party or who won the trial.

Also trolls and bots are not the same thing....”Read full review »
