Episode 50: Dehumanization

The term “dehumanization” is all over the news these days, in all kinds of contexts. In some cases, it’s so overused or misused that it’s being stripped of its meaning. But what if the people crying “dehumanization” the most are the ones engaging in it the most? Today on They Stand Corrected, Josh shows how people on the left — and the media itself — regularly engage in a form of dehumanization: infantilization.
But first, something new on the pro-terror radical from Columbia University. An analysis shows big news agencies are ignoring their own reporting — and misleading you. Josh interviews the man behind that analysis, which includes household name agencies.
Plus, the media’s at it again, blowing it on alleged “death tolls.”
Episode 49: ‘Isms’ & Green Cards
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 31:00 — 30.9MB) | Embed
Sometimes the media is like the Tower of Babel. People aren’t speaking the same language. But in this case, they don’t realize it. They’re using the same words, but mean different things. Today, Josh explains how this problem has been rampant in the news lately, with three key words: transgenderism, feminism, and Zionism. Hear why an exchange between comedian Bill Burr and public radio host Terry Gross is so significant, a new twist on Lysistrata, and the misguided dictionary entry that rewards hate groups.
Also, listeners are asking about the news coverage of one pro-terror radical from Columbia University. Josh shows how the media has been ignoring what the law actually says about green card holders. And he explains how media failures spark a world of uninformed “opinions” — as we’re seeing now, amid new Israeli military action against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.
Episode 48: Cycle Breaker: Immigration
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 29:49 — 29.2MB) | Embed
When the media make excuses for failing to get you the truth, they often blame the “news cycle.” It’s time to break that process. Today, Josh does so by focusing on a major issue filled with lies in the news: illegal immigration. Figures you’ve been hearing, and arguments about fentanyl and sex trafficking, are wrong. By failing to make this clear, the media is causing societal problems.
Immigration-related reporting failures also tie in to a statement from an Oscar-winning propagandist and a so-called “human rights activist” on a public radio show. Josh shows why this made-for-the-media line makes no sense to anyone who learns facts about the Middle East. Plus, the BBC blew it so badly that it pulled a documentary off of its platforms. Josh explains.
Episode 47: Trump-storm & Helicopters
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 30:17 — 30.4MB) | Embed
Since taking office, Trump has been on a blitzkrieg — a rapid, intense, chaotic effort to dismantle much of the government as we know it. He’s using endless lies to get away with it, and the media’s longtime failures are helping him. After years of letting lies go uncorrected, news agencies have left Americans with no clear sense of where to turn for truth.
Today, Josh digs into “DOGE” disasters, Trump’s treatment of Ukraine, and how his team and surrogates lie with impunity during what is supposed to be the ultimate example of political journalism. Also, a message to share with anyone you know who may be caught up in a cult of personality.
Plus, at the Oscars, an anti-Israel propaganda film wins a “documentary” award, and its creators use their speech to lie, exactly as Josh predicted. He sets the record straight.
Episode 46: Evil (Minisode)
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 10:53 — 14.5MB) | Embed
In this brief dispatch from the road, where Josh has done five speaking events in recent days, he addresses a question many of you are asking: Why can’t the media distinguish good from evil? He provides proof that they do — but not consistently. There’s a big exception.
This helps explain disastrous reporting in recent days about the horrific slaughter of the Bibas children and their mother — a slaughter that Gazans cheered for with jubilation. And it explains a big mistake the media is making in appending alleged death tolls to reports about this family.
Also, what the cancellation of prominent host Joy Reid’s show on MSNBC could mean for the media and the battles against anti-democratic forces on both the right and the left.
Episode 45: Political Lens Removal

What happens when big news agencies discuss people’s growing distrust of the media? These conversations instantly turn to politics, missing a larger point. Today, Josh explains the paradigm shift of removing the political lens and looking at what everyone needs from the news.
Plus, did a healthcare giant use massively faulty AI to make potentially life-or-death decisions about claims? And with a new study indicating plentiful food supplies were generally sent into Gaza, Josh shows the media’s failure to cast a light on who was definitely being starved there: hostages held by Hamas.
Episode 44: Reconstruction
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 29:52 — 38.7MB) | Embed
Trump said something, and the media spent the next several days proving that they’ve learned nothing. They left out crucial context for how Trump operates. Today, Josh shows how Trump’s remarks about Gaza sparked media panic. Also, how journalists misrepresented Sen. John Fetterman.
It gets far worse. By denying reality, the media is setting the stage for more devastating wars in the future. History proves this. Talk of post-war efforts must cover what the media refuses to acknowledge: the desperate need for deradicalization and denazification in Gaza. It’s the educational and ideological part of reconstruction efforts. Josh talks us through the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, and Nazi roots of modern Islamist terrorists.
Plus, hear from JFK, a 1994 celebration in Germany, and a U.S. government video from the end of World War II with eerie resonance today.
Episode 43: Employment Rights

People who work in hiring and deal with employment issues have reached out to Josh, telling him that the media is blowing it on what Trump has been doing. So today, Josh sets the record straight, explaining what has changed and what crucial rights against discrimination remain untouched. He also shares his own experience with a legal case that put him on the front page of the New York Times.
Meanwhile, the media is missing a big related story: Trump’s moves on gender put him up against his own Supreme Court pick — someone he called the very best judge in the country. Josh explains.
Plus, the Washington Post gets sneaky, using an article about a movie to lie and rewrite history about the Munich massacre.
Episode 42: Hypocri-Nazi

Is there anyone you can think of in the media — any prominent figure in big national media — who calls out hatred equally, whether it’s coming from the right or the left? Josh went looking and did find someone, but not in America. You’ll hear from him.
In this episode, Josh digs into the fury over Elon Musk’s gesture that might have been a Nazi salute. He shows the justifiable anger, but also the hypocrisy of people who assail Musk while ignoring the constant drumbeat of Nazi salutes in “pro-Palestinian” rallies of the far left. And while people disagree over what Musk meant, Josh shows there’s something concrete that he should be judged for.
Plus, the people who have been virtually forgotten in the cease fire deal between Israel and Hamas terrorists. Josh explains why one of these hits home for him. And is the media blowing it on coverage of Trump’s executive orders?

To everyone suffering in the L.A. fires, thoughts with you. In this episode, Josh explains what he’s keeping an eye on, and how you can flag news reports — both good and bad — for the show to examine.
In this final episode before the (some of you will gulp here) presidential inauguration (deep breath), Josh has an optimistic message. While it’s difficult to see liars rewarded — whether they’re politicians, news organizations, or even terrorist groups — there’s reason for hope. Movements spark countermovements. Together, we can launch a countermovement for truth.
As part of this, Josh talks listeners through the untold story of Meta, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, choosing to end fact checking. It’s very much a case of news organizations wanting “rules for thee but not for me.”
Plus, what a popular band’s name change signified. And eloquent words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
