MMP Remastered #57 - Broken Trust And The Unseen Villains
True Sunlight
Intro
Hosts introduce the episode, sponsors, and set up the topic of Parker's lawsuit and media fallout.
In Broken Trust and the Unseen Villains, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney revisit one of the most emotionally charged and revealing chapters in the Murdaugh saga.
Recorded during the heated birth of the Beach Family / Mark Tinsley / Parker’s Kitchen civil conspiracy battle (which is still not adjudicated as of November 2025), this episode exposed the powerful network of influence working to silence victims and harass those who sought the truth.
Mandy and Liz reflect on the online trolling, intimidation tactics, alleged ethical breaches, and those who seemed to target Mandy and Liz for reporting the truth — and how empathy from listeners countered the cruelty.
On this 57th episode we dissected revelations about Greg Parker’s private investigators, the Wall Street Journal’s coverage, and the media manipulation at play. This episode highlights unseen cost of telling the truth in a state where power and privilege remain deeply entwined.
