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. Ciencia Ciencias Sociales Política y Gobierno

  • Episode 85: National Guard Shooting
    Dec 3 2025
    The shooting of two National Guard members in Washington last week sparked a political battle and a cascade of media failure. Big news agencies ran false claims from President Trump and other government officials without correcting them. But that's just the beginning. The attack, by an Afghan refugee, shines a light on media failures going back to 2021. Amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, news agencies ran claims from the Biden administration without fact checking or attributing those. Today, Josh traces you through the uncorrected lies that have misled the country. Plus, the media’s role in rushing the 2021 process of ushering Afghan citizens into America -- and the dangers that process wrought. Also, what the media refuses to tell you about the shooter, and the word the media refuses to mention about the U.S. departure from Afghanistan.

  • Episode 84: Thanksgiving Dishonesty
    Nov 26 2025

  • Episode 83: Epstein Media Mess
    Nov 19 2025
    The release of some documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in recent days has been, above all else, a media story. Political leaders released certain files involving the sex trafficker, knowing what the media would do: grab a few lines out of context and play them up in hopes of getting audiences to click, watch, listen, and read. In the process, it made a mess and sowed confusion. But the release did raise new and serious concerns about the role of the media itself. A New York Times journalist tipped off Epstein about someone working on an exposé about him. And author Michael Wolff advised him. Today, Josh digs into all of this to explain where the media has gone wrong. He also highlights the hypocrisy of the BBC’s apology to Trump, and takes on a billion dollar news conglomerate that pushed the “genocide” libel about Israel.
