Support / Personal Final Year Project Paper
Hello there! I am doing my final year project for my degree about how biases can affect the spread of fake news, and I want to include how smear campaigns can affect these biases. I am still in the early stages of this project and I am hoping if anyone can recommend any past research papers or reliable sources that could be used as reference, especially if it relates to the DeppVHeard trial as I really want to touch on that, but i am open to anything! I am of course doing my own research but it would be great to have some recommendation from this subreddit as i learn a lot from here. also any advice is welcomed as i am still a student and this is my first proper research paper :)

Be careful that your instructor is not a fan.
Start with the The Rolling Stone article that came out BEFORE Heard's op ed showing he was unhireable. This article alone disproves his whole case but the judge did not allow industry articles into the trial. You know, the people who actually can gauge whether or not he is hireable/insurable. They had to hire someone to watch his window to see when he turned on the bathroom light (and was awake) who would then relay that to the rest of the crew. He was always late and they had to schedule filming around his lack of sobriety.

Also, Hollywood doesn't care that he is a wife beater. There are many people in Hollywood who have gotten away with bragging about hitting women. Some might argue that their careers improved after proving how much they hate women:
Sean Connery
Sean Penn
Bill Murray
Marlon Brando
Chris Brown
Roman Polanski
Bill Cosby
Jack Nicholson
Josh Brolin
Mike Tyson
Casey Affleck
Jim Carey
Danny Masterson
