WTW59: Oh Is Stealing Things a Crime Now? Aug 31, 2024

Show notes

The 4th part of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

Jon Ronson's grand theory of Judy Mikovitz is that she was a normal, accomplished scientist, until she was "arguably mistreated," after which she became the kind of person who would be the subject of Plandemic. This final episode completely disproves this theory. It also shows how incredibly dishonest Judy has been about her arrest, and why it was actually entirely reasonable that she was held for 5 days. (and, it was more like 4).

Also, make sure to not fall for the fake endings.

Part 3 of of our series on Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart.

On the podcast Knowledge Fight, Jordan asks Jon Ronson a good question: if there were a bunch of people involved in this bogus Judy Mikovits study, why was she the only one who had the cell line? Jon had no answer. Jenessa does. How the hell did everyone miss this?

WTW56: Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

At long last, we're releasing our series on how Jon Ronson both sidesed the truth into oblivion in the 2nd season of Things Fell Apart. The show, just like its host, is engaging and entertaining. The reporting, however, is not good. It is incredibly favorable to the anti-woke brigade, and as a result, is . And it's also just lazy and false in many ways.

First up: Dr. Judy Mikovits. Ronson paints her as a one-time serious scientist who got a raw deal and therefore turned conspiratorial and eventually became the subject of the anti-vax propaganda Plandemic. Or... what if she was actually always full of shit?

WTW54: Tucker Carlson Interviews Aaron Rodgers Jun 05, 2024

Show notes

We've finally attained our complete PiaT/CogDis crossover goal with our guest today, Noah Lugeons! We all suffered through more than 2 hours of Tucker Carlson interviewing Aaron Rodgers so you don't have to. Yes it's insane, but it's also scary how not insane it feels, too. Debunking Right Wing Rhetoric is even more important when it's coming out of the mouths of seemingly "normal" people with platforms; it's a slippery slope and Rodgers is apparently deep in it.
