À propos de cet audio

 The New Podcast Fighting for Truth. Lies and myths are societal poison. As we enter into an even worse era for the rapid spread of misinformation, disinformation and “alternative facts,” we desperately need trustworthy sources of truth. News media should serve that role. When they don’t, we’re all in trouble. And sadly, every day, news organizations report some things that liars say without telling you what’s true. They give these folks platforms to spew dangerous nonsense. They even do this for terrorists. Who holds the media to account? Who fact checks the news? Now, there’s a podcast for that. Welcome to They Stand Corrected. In it, Josh tackles the systemic problems that need to be fixed. Each episode focuses on something big that the media keeps getting wrong, why it keeps happening, and what we can all do about it. Politique Science Sciences sociales

  • Episode 78: Hostages: A Media Reckoning

    Episode 78: Hostages: A Media Reckoning
    Oct 15 2025
    This week, the world has seen the release of the 20 living, remaining hostages in Gaza, celebrations in Gaza for the return of convicted terrorists, and what’s being called the end of the Israel-Gaza war. “It’s all taking place against a backdrop of profound media failure,” Josh explains in this episode. “We can't really understand what's happening without understanding how the media has twisted everything, lengthening this war and helping the hostage takers hold on to them in hellish captivity for all this time.” It’s not just about one war. All the tactics that led to October 7th are being adopted by other Islamist terrorist groups around the world. Without the media helping people understand the truth, the world won’t act or prepare. Today, Josh shows you how the media usually presents hostage situations, and how it refused to follow the same template this time. It's a major shift involving false equivalence and downplaying heroics. It also explains why virtually no one in the media is asking a crucial question right now -- one that affects how the United States, European countries, and other countries deal with terrorists in the future. Did we just end an era? Plus, the best known figure on a global news network actually apologizes. If only she’d do the same for her other lies.

  • Episode 77: October 7th: The Big Picture

    Episode 77: October 7th: The Big Picture
    Oct 7 2025
    Today marks the second anniversary of the biggest terrorist massacre per capita in modern times. Josh explains how the media has presented the October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel, and the war ever since, with blinders on. By ignoring the big picture, it has convinced billions of people to believe in a false reality. October 7th, 2023, was a story of mass terror, mass rape, and mass killing by Iran-backed Hamas and other Gazan terrorists. It was also a story of bicycles, musical instruments, kites, compassion, hope, and survival. And it was a story of the biggest threat to democracies. Everything people in Israel faced that day, including the forces behind it, is spreading across the world. In this special episode, Josh does what the media won’t: He puts October 7th in context. He introduces you to survivors whose stories of living through unimaginable hell are unforgettable. He also takes you to Iraq, Australia, Nigeria, the United States and the United Kingdom. To prevent the next October 7th anywhere on Earth, we have to understand it.

  • Episode 76: The Censorship Line

    Episode 76: The Censorship Line
    Oct 1 2025
    When does pressure from someone in the government become censorship? That might be the most important question surrounding some of the biggest news stories right now. But the media doesn't even seem to be asking it, let alone trying to answer it. Today, Josh explains a new Pentagon policy that is so obviously against press freedoms that even a Fox analyst is calling out. Meanwhile, some headlines say that Google is accusing the Biden administration of having exerted “censorship pressure.” But is that what Google’s saying? Plus, Kamala Harris is out with a book, and her first interview showed some problems with the media. Meanwhile, on another network, an overall good conversation should remind the anchor to take his own advice. And Josh discusses news coverage of partisan violence, efforts to avert a government shutdown, and yet another proposal to end the war in Gaza.
