Depp v Heard trial: I noticed an interesting phenomenon wherein, once it was over, the people supporting Depp have been noticing how the media lies, gaslights, and manipulates

TL;DR is basically in the title

As I stated in the title: they're noticing things andnd I think this may actually be an awakening for some.

I will not go so far as to call them NPCs for multiple reasons, one being that the people I am mostly talking about saw through Heard's bullshit claims and supported Depp, a male who suffered domestic abuse at the hands of a woman. Those of which are not usually listened to, or shown compassion and sometimes even mocked.

They're looking at outlets like Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, The New York Times, etc, etc (those the left usually gravitates towards) and noticing the lying these oulets are doing regarding Depp and how this trial will "silence women who experience abuse", despite evidence presented in the trial which, for those of who don't know, was televised and livestreamed so there is no question what happened, what evidence was presented, how the two parties - plaintiff and defendant - came off during, etc.

I don't want to go looking for it but you can find twitter posts from an attorney of (((Harvey Weinstein's))) actually parroting this sentiment of (paraphrased) "this finding will negatively effect female victims of domestic violence."

Ironic, isn't it?

These people - Depp's supporters - are seeing how the leftist media gaslights people, despite the evidence being clear as day.

This is a great thing, not because some of them may lean more to the right from now on, but because they are realising how corrupt and dishonest mainstream - and often legacy - media is and has become.

The work you are looking for is Looking back on the Spanish war chapter 4,

I only mention it in order to say: believe nothing or next to noting, of what you read about internal affairs on the government side. It is all, from whatever source, party propaganda ---that is to say, lies. the broad truth about the war is simple enough. The Spanish bourgeoisie saw their chance of crushing the labor movement, and took it, aided by the Nazis and by the forces of reaction all over the world. It is doubtful whether more than that will ever be established.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie.I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and i saw newspaper London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened, I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happen according to various "party lines." Yet in a way, horrible as all this was, it was unimportant. It concerned secondary issues, namely the struggle for power between the Comintern and the Spanish left-wing parties, and the efforts of the Russian government to prevent revolution in Spain.

But the broad picture of the war which the Spanish government presented to the world was not untruthful, The main issues were what it said they were. But as for the Fascists and their backers how could they come even as near to the truth as that? How could they possible mention their real aims? Their version of the war was pure fantasy, and in the circumstances it could not have been otherwise

He also speak of the fear that the very concept of objective truth was fading out of the world.... well we now know how world without objective truth is heading.
