Elizabeth Holmes is back in the spotlight: why can’t we look away? – podcast
You Can See Everything, a documentary about the disgraced health tech company founder Elizabeth Holmes, has enjoyed a record-breaking opening in the US. It is a testament to how fascinated we remain by the convicted fraudster, but what is behind the enduring appeal?
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around renewed attention to Elizabeth Holmes and the public fascination surrounding her. The Guardian US centers the documentary You Can See Everything, calling out its record-breaking US opening and explicitly posing the question of Holmes’s enduring appeal, while the New York Times uses a more general headline about why “no one can look away.” The Times extract is the only one to quote a viewer describing Holmes as “brazenly lying,” so that reaction appears only in that outlet’s coverage.
