When conspiracy theories grow, there’s a crucial step that news organizations should take. They should run those theories past the myth of invincibility. Today, Josh explains how that applies to coverage of many of the biggest news stories of our time, from the current presidential race to terrorist attacks and more.

Plus, now that President Biden has dropped out of the presidential race, Josh explains what we should watch out for in the news, and the role that Americans desperately need the media to play. And he shows how news organizations allowed hypocrisy to go unchecked in coverage of the assassination attempt at a Trump rally, and left out crucial context.

Meanwhile, big news on another front has made early episodes of this show as timely and important as ever.
