We’ve all seen it so many times that most of us don’t even think about it. The media talks politics and presents âthe two sidesâ — a Democrat and a Republican. In reality, a much larger slice of America does not identify with either party. The American plurality, close to a majority, is treated as an afterthought. And thatâs just one way the media fails to cover independents.
Today, Josh speaks with a leader in the fight for this ignored community: Chad Peace of the Independent Voter Project, a group changing how elections work across the country. The two discuss how the mediaâs political narratives block reality; how coverage of Californiaâs gubernatorial race and New York socialists fit in; and what journalists are afraid to say.
Plus, just last week, Josh told us about how the Obama administration had subpoenaed journalists. Now the Trump administration has done so. The case involves security questions surrounding the new Air Force One plane, a giant gift from Qatar. Josh explains how the story reflects not only encroachments on press freedom, but also media failures.

Two mainstream news giants are using recent screwups to pretend to care about ethics and guidelines. One is NPR, where iconic reporter Nina Totenberg falsely reported that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring. The other is the New York Times, where sports journalist Diana Russini has left the company following a so-called âscandalâ involving her relationship with an NFL figure and her actions during a traffic stop.
Today, Josh digs into these stories and explains what they expose about the hypocrisy of Big Media. Itâs as though news agencies are showing great concern about a smudge on a penthouse window, while ignoring the fact that the entire building is on a shaky foundation.
Then, a look at America at 250. Virtually every country promises freedom of expression, including press freedom, in its constitution. What distinguishes democracies is the system that gives the people the power to enforce it. It’s up to every generation to carry on that fight. Josh explains why that makes today’s media failures so inexcusable. He cites how the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner and a joke from Obama factor in.
Plus, a new breaking twist in the saga of the disastrous Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, Graham Platner. Why that isnât just a political story — itâs a media story.

When the news shows people certain images, particularly of war and suffering, it creates physical changes in their brains. It triggers part of the mind so intensely that they often canât think straight. Propagandists take advantage of this. Their greatest weapon is the media.
Today, a leading expert joins Josh to explain. Clinical and neuropsychologist Orli Peter introduces us to âthe kindled brain,â and what it means for us all. She explains the dangers of the mental state so many people are in; how terrorist groups have mastered the Western mindset; and why the last three years have been unlike anything sheâs ever seen.
Also, Josh explains how a clip from the old TV show M*A*S*H fits in, and why an attack from decades ago suddenly has new relevance. And Orli discusses her experience responding publicly to New York City First Lady Rama Duwaji, who celebrated the October 7 massacres and denied the sexual assaults that day. The denial harms patients, Orli says. Big media wouldnât listen, but she found another place that did — and it âwent viral.â

Looking at the disastrous coverage of the Iran deal, Josh asks, âWhat imaginary mental world is the media living in? It’s as though the whole thing boils down to just gas prices, the Strait of Hormuz, maybe a mention of Iran’s nuclear threat, and of course, imaginary big, bad Israel having a magic ability to force the U.S. into a war.â
Today, Josh lays out the reality. Iran presents the greatest current threat to humanity, and the Islamic regime is conducting global efforts in the effort to control as much of the world as possible. The real story involves so much shaping the world and the lives of Americans, he explains. It’s about drugs, immigration, assassination plots on U.S. soil, Islamist terrorist attacks, threats to U.S. water supplies, the safety of U.S. children’s hospitals, other shipping channels like the Panama Canal and the Red Sea, genocidal attacks on Christians, and the the safety of the world’s largest democracy (which isnât the U.S.).
All this and more are wrapped up in what seems to be a disastrous capitulation to Tehran. And if this deal is as bad as it seems to be, that would be totally unsurprising given the reality of Trump’s history.
Then, Josh tackles a story the media is hiding altogether: The Rape Gang Inquiry, a big new report on the systemic, horrific rape of young girls across the United Kingdom. The government has long turned a blind eye to it because acknowledging it was deemed âracistâ and âIslamophobic.â A man was even jailed for talking about it. The media is a big part of the problem.
Plus, a trip to LA, JOMO, and Joshâs appearance on the Unapologetically Jewish podcast in conversation with host Shana Meyerson.

With Josh just back from vacation, producer Don Jackson hosts a special âbest-ofâ edition of They Stand Corrected, pulling six powerful clips that define the showâs mission. Donâs picks tackle media bias around Israel and Gaza, Trump-era disinformation, immigration narratives, the failure to reach low-income voters, and the meaning of October 7 through Jewish history and resilience.

A top official representing Uyghurs reached out to Josh, saying heâd welcome the chance to talk about misinformation in the media. Then, the story of Chinaâs extreme repression of the mostly Muslim Uyghurs became especially timely.
Today, Salih Hudayar, foreign minister of the East Turkestan Government in Exile, discusses how China is manipulating the world with help from the media. He assails the hypocrisy left-wing groups that claim to care about human rights, âcolonialism,â and âgenocide,â while ignoring âthe biggest imperialist power,â China.
Josh explains how this affects coverage of politics, the war in Iran, trade, immigration, and more. He explains how Chinese funding fuels organizations like Code Pink and streamers like Hasan Piker as they work to radicalize people around the worldâs stupidest cause: hating Israel.
The plight of the Uyghurs also highlights the hypocrisy of many Islamic nations, the U.N., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Hudayar shares his experience being kicked out of U.S. mosques for simply requesting a prayer to end the genocide of Uyghurs.
Plus, Maine Democrat Graham Platner has Democratsâ backing despite a long record of horrible behaviors, and ousted 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley leaves big questions unanswered.

News giants have been fixating on horse-race coverage of primaries, and misleading the country. While the headlines play up support for far-right and far-left candidates, Americans are clamoring for moderation. Today, Josh digs into the data. He shows that overwhelming numbers of Americans say Republicans and Democrats have gone too far in their ideological directions.
He highlights how Big Media hides the truth about the top issues for voters. A survey finds that Americans worry âa great dealâ about terrorism — even more than energy affordability and illegal immigration. But you wouldn’t know that from the New York Times.
Also, the media keeps churning out political predictions despite a long record of being very wrong. USA Today humor columnist Rex Huppke joins Josh to discuss his wish: âMake stupidity embarrassing again.â Josh shares the story of a ânewsâ anchor known for spouting nonsense shamelessly before Trump became president the first time.
Plus, new arrests of women in Western countries who have been carrying out the slave trade for ISIS, the Islamic State. Josh discusses why the majority of those arrested in democracies have been women, and why many so-called âhuman rightsâ campaigners stay silent about this slavery — as well as the chattel slavery that still exists in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

How did Canada, previously known for its politeness, become home to a widespread, violent antisemitic movement? Attacks on Jews are higher per capita in Canada than anywhere else in the West. Montreal has been called the âantisemitism capital of North America.â
Today, Josh is joined by Jesse Brown, editor and publisher of the independent news and podcast company Canadaland. In a recent series called âWhat is Happening Here,â he delved into the antisemitism spreading across the country. Josh speaks with him about unique ways in which Canadian media fuels this bigotry, including by failing to report who carries out hate crimes. âThe worse the media has done here, the more government support they’ve gotten,â Jesse says.
The problem trickles down from the highest levels of the government and leads to policies in newsrooms. âWhat Americans can see in Canada is: This is what happens when nobody is pushing back against this anti-Zionist thing,â he explains. âIt gets bolder, it gets infused into organizations, it becomes a witch hunt against everyday people.â
Also today, the BBC looks at girls in Afghanistan being sold into slavery, and focuses on how difficult it is for their fathers. To the BBC, the men doing the selling must be portrayed as victims. Josh explains the warped thinking that leads to these journalistic fiascoes.

Legal action can be the most powerful opportunity to uncover the corruption and lack of journalistic standards inside news agencies. A lawsuit exposed how Fox knowingly lied to its audience about the 2020 election. Now, a lawsuit over a disastrous op-ed could expose realities from inside The New York Times.
Today, Josh explains why the threatened lawsuit in response to Nicholas Kristofâs column doesnât have to lead to a plaintiffâs victory in order to pay off. Discovery is the key. Josh is in an unusual position to explain this, because he took legal action against his employer while at CNN. He discusses how desperately news agencies want to keep their dirty laundry hidden.
Also today, something difficult but important to hear: Kids in Gaza describe sexual abuse by Hamas. So does an Israeli man. Big media ignored this. Plus, why a bailout is not a balanced budget — and how left-wing media is heaping false praise onto New York Cityâs mayor.
Then, Josh explains why Memorial Day is the most hypocritical date on the mediaâs calendar, and what it takes to really honor those who died in service to the country.

A new bill of global importance has become a law. It could set a template for the entire country. Around the world, anti-democratic nations are watching this, because they know it’s a strike against one of their big goals: influencing the minds of American children.
Today, Josh is joined by a woman who led the effort to expose foreign influence over whatâs taught in U.S. schools. Inspired by proof of Qatarâs propaganda efforts, State Rep. Esther Panitch, a Georgia Democrat, spearheaded legislation to make her state the first to require a new kind of reporting. When she drew attention to the issue, the top Qatari officials in the United States went after her publicly — and then also went after another Jewish woman, saying they were doing âwhat people like you always do.â
Also, a new report is out, detailing horrific sexual violence carried out by Gazan terrorists. Even CNN took a break from parroting Hamas talking points to report on it. But the New York Times apparently turned down a chance to report on it in advance. Worse, the paper tried to get out ahead of it by running a propaganda-filled opinion piece from Nicholas Kristof.
Josh takes us through Kristofâs history of getting big things wrong, including in a failed run for governor of Oregon. âA guy who doesn’t look for facts and then tries so hard to deny them — this is who the Times entrusts to run with the most incendiary allegations you can make against Israel,â Josh explains.

A Supreme Court decision about voting rights became âstop the pressesâ news. But the media left out a big part of the story: the history of Black Democratic groups and white Republican groups working together to create more majority-Black districts. Today, Josh explains the math behind the effort.
Then, hear dramatic sound from the capture of a knife-wielding UK terrorist who attacked Jewish people. The BBC pretended the latest in a long string of attacks was âshocking.â The network also muted a guestâs microphone when he cited incitement by far-left politicians. And the BBC helped a far-left politician avoid answering a simple question. Josh explains how the scene became a study in âtragicomic obfuscation.â
NPR, meanwhile, did not run a single on-air piece about the attack. Josh shares what happened when he searched NPRâs site for any stories about Jewish people, radical Islam, and more. People should not give their hard-earned money to the network, he argues, particularly in the wake of a historic $113 million gift from two extremely wealthy people.
Also today, more of Joshâs interview with fantastic military analyst Andrew Fox. Even if Iran agrees to a deal, it’s likely to see it as a temporary patch until Trump is out of office. Andrew explains why Iran is banking on a Democrat taking over the White House and giving the Islamic regime, effectively, free reign. Plus, why Pakistan is suddenly all over the news, and the mediaâs cluelessness about where the country came from.

The giant chasm between the media and reality has never been as clear as it is now, in the wake of a shooting at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. News agencies have long ignored and downplayed left-wing violence. Instead of covering it, theyâve run cover for it and churned out content designed to radicalize people even further. Now, that hatred hit home.
Today, Josh shares proof that left-wing violence is more popular than right-wing violence in America, especially among young people. Plus, former guest Mike Pesca points out something important about what the authorities did to the shooter at the gala — and the profound hypocrisy of the media not caring.
Josh also tackles another big media issue: anonymous sourcing. The Atlantic published a piece alleging that FBI Director Kash Patel is âMIA,â based entirely on unnamed people. Josh shows how the media has misused anonymous sourcing for so long that many people distrust them. He highlights particularly disastrous cases of anonymous sources being wrong — including a CNN example that put lives in danger.
Even coverage of Patelâs response served as a reminder of media failure. He made nonsensical claims about his own record, but the media parroted him anyway. Josh explains, and tells you about an anonymous source who referred to a vice president as âI.â

Trump insists it’s going âswimmingly.â Much of the media portrays it as an unmitigated disaster. But since news giants get so much wrong also, how can you know what’s true? Today, Josh welcomes back Andrew Fox of the Henry Jackson Society, a clear-headed military analyst who understands war and whatâs really happening.
Andrew cites ways in which the war has been âa dominating, overwhelming, crushing victory for Israel and the United Statesâ and ways in which it has not been so — including one action in particular that he calls âa military mistake for the ages.â
He also explains the reason the initial U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran took place at the exact moment it did; how a 5-minute elevator underground factors in; what signs to look for in the coming weeks; and how Trumpâs turn on Ukraine affected Europeâs actions on Iran. And he describes what it will take to end Iranâs Islamist regime, the chief sponsor of global terror.
Plus: the media buries another terrorist attack on a synagogue, carried out by teens. New York Times propagandist Ezra Klein denies reality again. A state representative calls out left-wing hate monger Hasan Pikerâs latest vile, bigoted rant, which targeted a Vietnamese refugee. And the U.S. Navy Band plays two national anthems.

The media needs to learn from its big screwups. It usually doesnât. Today, Josh shows the latest proof. In rushing to cover Iranâs claims about a ceasefire deal, the media forgot lessons from a previous controversy involving the Mueller Report, then-Attorney General Bill Barr, and claims of Russian interference in the U.S. election.
Meanwhile, news agencies that have told you not to trust the Iranian government suddenly want you to trust it now. And the same news agencies condemning Elon Musk for letting Iran spread propaganda on X are quoting and linking to Iranâs propaganda on X.
Also today, Josh dispels the notion that on-the-ground reporters know as much as they claim to. He discusses âparachute journalismâ and a question journalists often ask each other on air, exposing a fundamental flaw in news operations.
Plus a giant lesson the media is missing from the election in Hungary, NPR’s unforgettably awful admission, and the media’s hypocrisy around destroying a civilization.

A New York Times headline read, âUS Rejects Vote to Recognise Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity.â That’s false. Today, Josh explains what actually happened, and why itâs so significant for the time weâre living in. It involves victim narratives, vikings, and the British asking an African nation to stop slavery. The Times also misled readers about a Trump quote, giving fodder to âfake newsâ claims. Josh explains why that’s so damaging.
Meanwhile, with a day remembering the Holocaust (Yom Hashoah) coming up, Josh busts a very popular myth. Unlike the lies pushed by extremist groups and nations like Iran, this myth was created by a famed Nazi hunter. Simon Wiesenthal was convinced — probably correctly — that few people would care about 6 million murdered Jews. So he invented an â11 million peopleâ claim, which the media has since repeated many times over.
Also today, as Trump continues firing cabinet officials far faster than presidents generally do, the media is ignoring the lying track records of his new picks.
Plus, the great Marian Anderson, historic civil rights figure and opera singer, performing a song with timely resonance.
In the newsletter: While news agencies decry AI fakes about the Iran war and more, these same news agencies are making an even more insidious problem worse. Itâs one that will last far beyond any administration.

A new merger has huge implications for news at the local level — where people still trust the media. Today, Josh explains why this story is even bigger than it seems.
Some are presenting the Nexstar-Tegna merger as yet another example of Trump rewarding billionaires who played his game. But some prominent conservative groups, including CPAC, oppose it. Meanwhile, a group that has been giving more money to Democrats than Republicans supports it.
Will this merger poison coverage across the country, or is it the key to survival? This story involves the tech giants (Google, Meta, TikTok and more) and a so-called âmoat against extinction.â It also sets up an unfair choice between two bad options. Josh explains that there’s a solution.
Plus left-wing media figure Kara Swisher sparked headlines by trashing CBSâ new ownership and saying she would not work at CNN under the same owners. Josh explains why this story ended up saying a lot about todayâs media, hypocrisy, and blindness to existing dangers.
Also, Josh announces the winners — er, losers, of the Media Fail Awards (mediafailawards.com). And he discusses yet another group of Christians slaughtered by Islamist terrorists in Africa.

Today, Josh starts off with a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote about âappalling silence.â That’s because the mediaâs failures arenât just about stories it gets wrong; theyâre also about stories it refuses to tell. Perhaps the biggest is modern slavery, which includes an estimated 50 million people — probably more. A new report finds conviction rates are critically low. Josh searched Big Media for coverage.
Meanwhile, as debates rage about the Iran war, one of the most important things to understand is how Iranâs support of Islamist terror threatens the United States. Yet the media has not reported on the new Global Terrorism Index. It shows a massive 280% jump in people killed by terrorism in the West, and the highest number in the United States since 2019. đ
The findings about children, especially, should be in headlines everywhere. Josh explains. Plus, amid the slew of attacks on synagogues and other Jewish sites in the West, something is not happening — and thatâs a big, untold story.
Also today, a former Major League Baseball player celebrates the show âcontributing to the well-being of Team Humanity and specifically Team America.â And Josh offers shoutouts with public domain music recorded on your birthday.

Today, Josh divulges a reality that Big Media doesnât want you to know: News consumption has plummeted. More people are proudly announcing that theyâre cutting back, calling it JOMO — the joy of missing out.
That may be a good thing. A study finds that people who spend more time following the news are more misinformed about crucial topics. That’s because of how news giants are responding to the shrinking audience. Josh explains that it’s a story of marauders, shields, and people who are supposed to be warriors for truth choosing instead to play on their phones.
Also, the term âderangement syndromeâ is now being used in all sorts of contexts — in reference to a state, a technology, and a wildly popular singer. It isn’t just a new catch-all phrase; itâs a sign of problematic thinking pushed by the media.
Plus, celebratory voice messages from supporters. And something listeners have asked for: a message to share with friends who may be entrenched in talking points of the political right or left.

New York City nearly had an Islamist terrorist attack just days ago, but you wouldnât know it from Big Media. Instead of getting people the truth, news giants hid basics. Today, Josh shares news disasters from The New York Times and CNN that are so ludicrous they sound like jokes.
Meanwhile, the Times showed its bias in coverage of two political spouses. It ran cover for Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani, who liked social media posts celebrating the October 7 terrorist massacres. But it went after the wife of another Democratic politician, whose social media activity was sensible.
Plus, an analysis, conducted for this episode, shows the media has dramatically changed how it covers a U.S. military conflict. And Josh shares a clip of someone calling out a major news network live on the air.
Also, a leading Democratic figure, a likely presidential candidate for 2028, has gone off the rails — and Josh seems to be the only person asking him what he’s thinking.

In the days since the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran, the media has been misleading us. Obituaries of the Islamic Republicâs supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, left out basics, including his role in attacks on Americans and his regimeâs horrific, systematic sexual assaults on girls and women. Big Media also showed pro-Iran bias in deciding which groups get the âterroristâ label.
Today, Josh tells us what the media wonât. He dismantles disastrous âreportingâ from the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post. He explains how the media abandoned Iranâs brave protesters in recent months — a decision that strengthened Iranâs ability to fight off military action. The BBC even traveled to Iran to do propaganda for the regime.
This story ties into another big story at home that sounds unrelated: a merger involving CBS and CNN. The same news agencies insisting journalism is in danger donât care about the journalistic fiascoes already present.
The problem is not left versus right, Josh explains; it’s truth versus lies. Tune in to get the two ingredients of truth: facts plus context.
