“lol, I just went through this a second time after David Cross mentioned it on HIS podcast, but it’s quite fascinating listening years later. I had forgotten about all those right wing trolls, who loomed so large in 2016. I’m also surprised that it’s only been four years for TikTok to go from new...”Read full review »

“Cross said he listened to this and Serial. I really got a kick out of listening to this. Was so relieved to learn that Caleb didn’t turn into a school shooter.

“I listened to this after David Cross gave it a shoutout on his podcast (Senses Working Overtime) and said it’s one of the only podcasts he’s ever listened to, and he enjoyed it. Decided to listen based on that, and so glad I did! Fascinating, excellent reporting, and a good look at how far we’ve...”Read full review »

“The nytimes is trying their hardest to convince you that if you don’t think the way the legacy media (far left) wants you to then essentially you’re in a rabbit hole. No wonder Americans have tuned out from the MSM.”

“To self indulgent.
Episode rabbit hole, it’s like they’re trying to take you down the Rabbit hole.
Like they’re trying to give you trauma listening to the examples, could’ve made the same point with an episode 50% in length.”

“I was extremely pleased that they did not record a microcosm of information; they incorporated the thoughts and stories of opposing views and humanized them in a way that makes it easier to listen to why they think and feel how they do.
100% recommend for any leftist that wants to understand...”Read full review »

“Interesting case studies about how we gravitate towards our biases, but there is some irony about a NY Times journalist clutching pearls about ‘disinformation’ when that paper and many mainstream news and tv eagerly reported unverified and outright false info about WMD’s, Bountygate, the Steele...”Read full review »

“Entertaining but a news-based story should be told from multiple points of view. Hard to take this as “truth” without another perspective or insight into how this can drive someone to the far left as well. Sounds more like an anti right podcast more than hard hitting journalism.”

“Fearful that they are no longer the monopoly on the news and opinions for the people? Or that the people have found other ways to connect and discuss politics outside of their curating what can be said? Online finally gives a voice to the people. And they can be scary to those in power and the...”Read full review »

“The dangers of arrogance and ignorance peddled on the internet are well and truly highlighted here. Agree that Pew Die Pie got let off lightly, but that in itself is an eye opener as to the lack of legal accountability for dis-information peddlers. The connection to Christchurch was chilling.”
