Episode 23: The Debate’s Low Bar

Media pundits heaped praise on the moderators of the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Why? Because amid Trump’s onslaught of lies, they offered a few brief moments of fact checking. Today, Josh explains that this proves the incredibly low bar for “journalism” at these spectacles — which are, as he has said before, “arson for truth.” Also, he highlights a moment in which a host said something false in the process of asking Kamala Harris a question.

Meanwhile, listeners have sent in lots of questions about the media’s failure to accurately describe the slaughter of hostages in Gaza, including a U.S. citizen. Josh shares something surprising: for a brief period, the language that upset people was actually accurate. But the critics are right too.
