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

Episode 92: Killing Context
Coverage of the latest deadly shooting by federal immigration agents has left out crucial context. Today, Josh tells you what most legacy media have ignored. He digs into the track record of the official who led Trump’s crackdown in Minneapolis. A federal judge slammed Greg Bovino for “outright lying.” Josh also explains how the media left out the dangers these agents face, which can affect a split-second decision to shoot. Then, another big story involving immigration. 60 Minutes broadcast the controversial report about a hellish prison in El Salvador. It’s the segment that many “journalists” insisted would never air. Now…

Episode 91: ‘Citizen Journalists’
Stories of independent, self-declared “journalists” have been all over the news lately. The Trump administration went wild over Nick Shirley, who made a video involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota, daycares, and allegations of fraud. Big Media responded with hypocritical attacks, performative stunts, and accusations of Islamophobia. Then, Don Lemon — a former mainstream media figure-turned independent “journalist” — joined protesters who barged into a church during a service, causing mayhem. He got basics wrong about the Constitution, the First Amendment, the Civil Right Movement, and more. And it’s quite possible that he violated the law. Today, Josh talks you through…

Episode 90: Rage Machine
To get your attention, the media likes to make you angry. So big news agencies churn out hot takes that inspire fury — facts be damned. That’s clear in coverage of the shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. Today, Josh points out how a news network did exactly the wrong thing in the wake of the shooting. Also, how all the major media are ignoring a basic fact about groups organizing protests: Several of them actually support state violence of a different kind. Anger also led to disastrous coverage of a battle at CBS’ 60 Minutes.…

Episode 89: Maduro Madness
The U.S. military operation in Venezuela and capture of strongman Nicolas Maduro raise crucial questions about the extent of American power and what’s allowed under so-called “international law.” The media should respond by giving you the facts. What does the Constitution say? What do international treaties say? How have governments made decisions about military actions, and who gets to weigh in? Instead of providing answers, the media has produced an avalanche of conflicting claims, opinions, and lies. Today, Josh pieces through the rubble to uncover the truth. He talks you through military actions by the Obama and Biden administrations; the…

Episode 87: Hanukkah Massacre: The Media’s Complicity
The media is complicit in the Hanukkah massacre. That’s not an accusation or opinion; it’s a demonstrable fact. Today, Josh provides proof. In the wake of the Islamist terrorist attack in Sydney, Josh takes you inside Australia’s media landscape, which mirrors that of the United States and western Europe. You’ll hear the daughter of an elderly victim bravely call out the mainstream media in the middle of a live interview. Then, Josh digs into the big problem with the media’s fixation on one hero. He explains how the media uses stories like that to hide a much bigger reality. He…

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.
