They Stand Corrected
Fighting for truth — and giving you a safe space to weigh in
“Josh Levs fearlessly dissects the narratives spun by mass media, demanding accuracy and integrity in reporting. Josh is poised to hold powerful voices accountable because he IS one of those powerful voices. After two decades in the trenches of big-name national news outlets, he deftly pulls back the curtain for a rare glimpse behind the scenes. They Stand Corrected is the standard of truth in an era defined by uncertainty and misinformation.”
Michelle Azriel
Writer, Editor, and Producer
“If you are not listening to They Stand Corrected weekly, then you are doing yourself a disservice. Josh gives you an accurate behind the scenes look into the inner workings of the media. I spent two decades working in television news. Never before has a podcast like this been so necessary, especially in the current political climate.”
-Todd Rogenthein | Austin, Texas

“I simply can’t thank you enough. You are single-handedly cutting through some of the most important webs of sophistry that have trapped us where we are today. And speaking of time, thank you for taking YOUR time to do this important work. You rock, good sir.”

Episode 52: Reaching Voters
There’s a line you often hear these days: that people don’t “see themselves reflected” in the media. Today, a guest joins Josh to explain how that problem applies to a majority of American voters — and how the media’s failure in this respect leaves people uninformed. Plus, an anniversary! They Stand Corrected has completed a full year of episodes, with no weeks off. To celebrate, Josh answers listeners’ questions, shares amazing feedback, and offers a prescription for how to face an onslaught of awful news in the world. It’s a life skill that isn’t taught, but should be.

Episode 51: Misunderstood Citizens
It’s what Josh warned about in November: Exit polls are not trustworthy. Now, new information indicates what really happened in the elections — and proves that popular media narratives were wrong. One theory in particular that got traction in the media was the exact opposite of what happened. To do its job in protecting democracy, the media must work to understand and accurately portray citizens of democratic nations. So Josh also digs into a misguided, problematic term used to describe one such group on the other side of the globe: “settlers.” It has been in the news in recent days.…

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…

Episode 49: ‘Isms’ & Green Cards
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…

Episode 48: Cycle Breaker: Immigration
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…

Episode 47: Trump-storm & Helicopters
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…

They Stand Corrected is an important contribution to understanding how media bias has turned too many otherwise thoughtful and informed individuals against the Jewish people.
