In August 2020, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, civil unrest and destruction engulfed the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Amidst the chaos of arson and protests, a 17-year-old named Kyle Rittenhouse arrived armed with an AR-15 style rifle, claiming he was there to protect local businesses and provide medical aid. By the end of the night, he had shot three men—fatally wounding Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and severely injuring Gaige Grosskreutz.

Was Rittenhouse a reckless vigilante who provoked a deadly confrontation, or a teenager forced to make split-second, life-or-death decisions in self-defense? Let’s unpack it.

In 2018, the media declared a massive victory when Bill Cosby was sentenced to prison. But what did the headlines leave out?

In this episode of Dismantle the Media, we bypass the media circus and open the actual case file. We break down the timeline, the 2005 non-prosecution agreement with District Attorney Bruce Castor, and the blatant violation of Cosby’s 5th Amendment rights that ultimately forced the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to vacate his conviction in 2021. Why did the press ignore the glaring procedural and constitutional violations in favor of sensationalism?

Join us as we examine the facts, the courtroom reality, and the dangerous precedent of trial by media.

In 2011, 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with 23 stab wounds. The door was reportedly locked from the inside. Initially, it was a clear-cut homicide. But then, in a move that baffled her family and the public, the medical examiner officially changed the ruling to a suicide.

In this episode, we unpack the deeply flawed initial police investigation and the glaring inconsistencies in her fiancé’s 911 call. We also dive into the bombshell expert testimony—including neuropathological evidence suggesting several of Ellen’s wounds were inflicted after her heart had already stopped beating. How does someone stab themselves 23 times? Join us as we follow her parents’ relentless, decade-long legal battle against the city of Philadelphia to uncover what really happened behind that locked door.
