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, they’ve 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 “MIA,” 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 Patel’s 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 “I.”
