What the coverage shows
Wired centers the documentary itself and frames the piece as an exclusive conversation with Nathan Fielder about truth, lies, and Theranos. CBS News instead foregrounds Tyler Shultz, identifying him as a Theranos whistleblower who is weighing in on the documentary. The two outlets converge on Elizabeth Holmes and Fielder, but differ in whether the emphasis is Fielder’s project or a whistleblower’s reaction.
