Vox Speaks...plus a Reasoned Take on Depp v Heard (H&H | 5-21-22)

Is Vox speaking with the voice of the people? And is The New Republic putting out by far the best take on Depp v Heard I have yet seen?

Welcome to Hang-Outs and Headlines! The media suggests and shapes our understanding of the news items that fill our days (and our social media timelines) - sometimes fairly and sometimes quite unfairly.

Here Hoeg (and often friends) dive deep into just what's happening in the story behind the stories, with a whole lot of hanging-out, chatting, and wild tangents as well.

For some background (c/o @legalbytes):

• Johnny Depp is suing Amber Heard for defamation stemming from her OpEd published in The Washington Post in 2018.

• Amber Heard is counter suing for defamation claims based on statements made by Johnny Depp's former lawyer.

• The trial is taking place in Fairfax, Virginia, the proper venue as The Washington Post is headquartered in said location.

• Presiding is Judge Penny Azcarate, Johnny Depp is represented by Ben Chew, Camille Vasquez, and more. Amber Heard is represented by Elaine Bredehoft, Ben Rottenborn, and more.
