  • Resumen

  • 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.

    Episode 55: Grandstanding
    May 7 2025
    Journalists are talking about the importance of truth telling. But what they’re saying conflicts with what their news agencies are doing. Today, Josh digs into this growing problem. When one speaker at a journalism awards dinner said something critical about the media, it ended up exposing the media’s propensity for grandstanding. Plus, CBS platformed a Russian official in a long interview, and did not mention democracy. Even worse, CBS indicated that it took a piece of guidance from the Russian government. What?! Meanwhile, a leader of Columbia University’s vicious antisemitic mobs has changed his story yet again. Josh explains.

    Episode 54: Fake Bio
    Apr 30 2025
    A man getting a ton of news attention tells a tale of his tragic, inspirational backstory, and the media eats it up. But what if it isn’t true? An independent journalist in the UK began doing some very basic fact checking, and quickly found that basic elements of the alleged story are, as he puts it “impossible.” On today’s show, journalist David Collier joins Josh to discuss his coverage of a pro-terror radical from Columbia University whom the media have been portraying as a perfect, peace-loving hero. “I did what every single journalist in the United States should have done,” David explains. The tale this man is spinning could just as easily be “about Narnia. It's crazy that any journalist has looked at this person and taken him seriously.” So, have any major news agencies changed their reporting in the face of this evidence? Listen in to find out.

    Episode 53: Fame Obsession
    Apr 23 2025
    An annual spectacle is about to take place in Washington, showing so much of what's wrong with today's media: the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. On today’s show, Josh digs into the corrosive obsession with “fame” in the news business, and how it leads journalists to stray far away from their role of providing you the truth. You’ll hear a network’s flagship political show, just the other day, present sports analyst Stephen A. Smith as a contender for the U.S. presidency -- without mentioning that he has no particular set of knowledge or skills for the job. (As Josh explains, Smith himself points out what’s wrong with this way of thinking.) And you'll hear a political operative talk about how the fame obsession led members of his party in Washington to do “evil.” Also, how the media weaponizes fame to skew stories, like that of a pro-terror radical from Columbia University. And a crucial lesson from the Enron scandal more than twenty years ago.
