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 57: Hit Pieces
As soon as it started, a listener alerted Josh: an avalanche of “hit pieces” about Sen. John Fetterman was on the way. Soon, big news organizations did come forward with a slew of reports about the senator, a Democrat from Pennsylvania. The reporting involved allegations about his mental health from one named former staffer — and a bunch of anonymous people. This triggered a debate. Did the media learn a lesson from Biden, or is it helping far left activists try to take down Fetterman for stances they don’t like? In addition to being willing to reach across the aisle,…

Episode 56: Punishing Democracy
The media isn’t just failing to fight for democracy; it’s punishing a nation for being a democracy. Today, Josh takes you on a trip to a region you virtually never hear about in the news, to show you the “practical, simple, and pathetic reason” this happens. Along the way, you’ll hear a crucial update on horrors facing Christians in Africa, and how a — perhaps surprising — religious leader stepped in where the media has failed. Meanwhile, in a follow-up to last week, hear how the most venerated U.S. news program engaged in a public act of grandstanding. It was…

Episode 55: Grandstanding
Journalists are talking about the importance of truth telling. But what they’re saying conflicts with what their news agencies are doing. Today, Josh digs into this growing problem. When one speaker at a journalism awards dinner said something critical about the media, it ended up exposing the media’s propensity for grandstanding. Plus, CBS platformed a Russian official in a long interview, and did not mention democracy. Even worse, CBS indicated that it took a piece of guidance from the Russian government. What?! Meanwhile, a leader of Columbia University’s vicious antisemitic mobs has changed his story yet again. Josh explains.

Episode 54: Fake Bio
A man getting a ton of news attention tells a tale of his tragic, inspirational backstory, and the media eats it up. But what if it isn’t true? An independent journalist in the UK began doing some very basic fact checking, and quickly found that basic elements of the alleged story are, as he puts it “impossible.” On today’s show, journalist David Collier joins Josh to discuss his coverage of a pro-terror radical from Columbia University whom the media have been portraying as a perfect, peace-loving hero. “I did what every single journalist in the United States should have done,”…

Episode 53: Fame Obsession
An annual spectacle is about to take place in Washington, showing so much of what’s wrong with today’s media: the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. On today’s show, Josh digs into the corrosive obsession with “fame” in the news business, and how it leads journalists to stray far away from their role of providing you the truth. You’ll hear a network’s flagship political show, just the other day, present sports analyst Stephen A. Smith as a contender for the U.S. presidency — without mentioning that he has no particular set of knowledge or skills for the job. (As Josh explains,…

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.

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.
