The Smears

The media onslaught, which has been unremitting in its hostility to Schapelle Corby and her family, is documented in detail in the Expendable Project Media Library. The political context is documented by the Expendable Reports and by the Expendable Documentary Film.

The documentary film, Dead Men Can't Sue, demonstrates how the death of Schapelle Corby's father was ruthlessly exploited, as it opened the floodgates to unmitigated smears and paid-for fabrications. It examines how one journalist pursued these stories, and how publishers and corporations presented them as fact, systematically influencing public opinion. The film can be viewed as a whole (below), or in its constituent parts.
