A New York Times headline read, “US Rejects Vote to Recognise Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity.” That’s false. Today, Josh explains what actually happened, and why it’s so significant for the time we’re 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 “fake news” 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 “11 million people” 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. It’s one that will last far beyond any administration.
