Change the presenters, someone with a view to look both ways would be nice.
I’m really trying to persevere with this podcast - the content is interesting. But if you want the full on any of these stories: it’s not here. A lot of opinion and tunnel vision and a real fear of deviating from the one-track. No options for broader thought or scope. And retrospecting the villain is always boring… no-one is all good or all bad.
Letby has too many “Me Too”s … if this case was about a man charged and found guilty of attacking multiple women - some of whom were killed and some left with lifelong injuries - then AFTER the guilty verdict police find 13 more victims… nobody would be protesting his innocence.
The presenters pose as serious journalists but are heavily biased and make little attempt to hide it. From the start, they took the trial verdicts as gospel and continued to do so long after serious doubts emerged from world leading excerpts across multiple fields. When the dust is settled on this case, it should go down as a textbook case of how not to conduct journalism.
These two will likely end up with egg on their faces.
The way they talk about Lucy Letby is as though they don’t know, or care, about the controversy.
Awful bias, as mentioned by many more.
