Summary

[ Part 2 of 4 ] How the Media Failed

In the wake of Darcy’s death, a crisis PR firm succeeds in influencing the media – and public perception – with misleading and false information.

In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you’ll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It’s a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.

Release schedule: New episodes each day with the final episode on Friday August 23.

Listen ad-free and early: The entire series is available ad-free on our premium feeds - Amazon Music (included with Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.

INVITATION: 15th Annual Memorial Gathering - Toronto

Please join us Saturday, August 31 at 3 p.m. at the spot where Darcy died at 151 Bloor Street West. There’s a white Ghost Bike opposite Tiffany & Co and close to Bloor St and Avenue Road.

Special thanks to Allan Sheppard, Joe Hendry and Victoria (the eyewitness). Thanks also to writer Mary Fairhurst Breen for editing and creative direction on this reboot series.

Please respect the privacy of those involved in this case.
