They Stand Corrected

After major elections, news agencies slice and dice the electorate, declaring massive demographic realignments and historic swings. But did millions of voters actually switch parties — or is the media completely misreading the story? Today, Josh exposes the truth behind the midterm headlines. He breaks down how the news networks rely on the same pool survey while packaging flawed data as fac...

After just about every election, the media declares a “new era” has begun. In the wake of the midterms, those claims are rampant. Are they accurate? Today, Josh sifts through the claims to find the facts. He busts myths about entire generations and voting blocs being diehard Democrats or Republicans, and shows what’s really driving turnout. Also, Michigan’s far-left Democratic Senate candida...

Voting is underway in the U.S. midterm elections. The race is driven largely by so-called “double haters” who are fed up with both major parties. New data shows their numbers skyrocketing. The media talks about this group, but doesn’t tell the full story.  Today, Josh shows how Americans are becoming more angry at and dissatisfied with the parties, candidates and incumbents. He asks a crucial...

It’s time to correct something the media has been lying about for 15 years: former President Barack Obama’s record on the Middle East. The other day, he rewrote history and spewed vicious lies during a speech in Belfast, Northern Ireland (at a university where Josh once spoke). Obama poured fire onto the flaming inferno of the world’s largest hate movement, antizionism.  Today, Jo...

A lawmaker has responded to Josh’s recent episode — and her response shows what’s wrong with our politics. Today, Josh digs into a “party over country” mentality that’s damaging society. Rep. Haley Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, accurately called antizionism a hate movement. But she also endorsed Abdul El-Sayed, who would lead that hate movement in the Senate. In a note on Josh’s social...

On this third anniversary of the October 7 massacres, Josh highlights something the media forgets entirely: the story of what does not happen. The story of that day, and Am Yisrael (The People of Israel, a.k.a. “Jews”) having to fight the latest war for survival, isn’t just about death and destruction. It’s also about what the terrorists and their supporters have stolen from humanity. Antisemitism...

How did the mainstream media become a tool of today’s biggest hate movement? Today, a leading expert joins Josh to explain how the Antizionist Hate Movement used the nexus between academia and journalism to launder its lies. An academic and expert on how societies develop, Adam Louis-Klein is now leading the Movement Against Antizionism . His own story is instructive. He was a Communist and left-w...

When the media decides to present someone as a victim, there’s almost always no turning back. No matter how wrong they turn out to be, no matter how much evidence disproves the narrative, the media doubles down. We’ve seen that in recent days with a rapper known as Macklemore. Today, Josh explains that the media is completely wrong about him.  Macklemore praised violent pro-terror mobs...

If you picture America as the news describes it, which political figures do you think are popular? A new survey shows the actual popularity — in most cases, unpopularity — of political figures. It exposes the massive disconnect between the media and reality. Media darlings are among the most unpopular political figures in America. Today, Josh explains why this is such an important real...

A powerful news agency heard people’s complaints and changed its stance on 9/11. Now, it says, its journalists may call the September 11th attacks what they were: terrorism. But that doesn’t solve the problem. In fact, with its new guidance, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) just showed how its rules make no sense.  Today, Josh explains that this is a hole news agencies have d...

The flooding in Nepal and Tibet is the latest in a string of natural disasters showing the vulnerability of so many people. In news coverage, the media is missing what may be the most important point of all: what it takes to strengthen societies against these events.  Today, Josh explains why democratic societies do a much better job of protecting and saving lives in natural disasters. As the...

What do you do if you’re interviewed and want to make sure your words don’t get twisted? Or what if you’re not even interviewed, but suddenly find yourself in the news anyway? That can happen to anyone at any time. Today, Josh highlights examples, and explains why in this era, people need to be empowered about how to handle the media.  He talks through it with a man who lear...

It’s a big story involving alleged life and death stakes: Were the Secret Service and the president willing to risk the lives of journalists and staffers? Before taking off from Turkey recently, President Trump and a few aides were secretly snuck out of the plane and into another military aircraft, amid a security threat from Iran.  Members of the media say the president and Secret Service u...

The narrow victory of left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary exposed a fault line in America. Some people who recognize his problems with antisemitism say Democrats should now support him anyway. They argue that MAGA is an “existential threat” to the United States, so any Democrat will do.  Today, Josh shatters that myth, laying out how a left-wing movement...

When some news agencies chose not to air Trump’s primetime speech live, they noted that he was likely to lie. Then right afterward, they resumed booking lawmakers and pundits to lie and not be fact checked. Today, Josh explains how the media’s hypocrisy hurts us all, and how the news business should tackle the problem. He also shows why the “sky is falling” freakouts about CBS were disproven yet a...

We've all seen it so many times that most of us don't even think about it. The media talks politics and presents “the two sides” -- 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 that’s just one way the media fails to cover independents.  Today, Josh speaks...
