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 111: Moderation Mandate
News giants have been fixating on horse-race coverage of primaries, and misleading the country. While the headlines play up support for far-right and far-left candidates, Americans are clamoring for moderation. Today, Josh digs into the data. He shows that overwhelming numbers of Americans say Republicans and Democrats have gone too far in their ideological directions. He highlights how Big Media hides the truth about the top issues for voters. A survey finds that Americans worry “a great deal” about terrorism — even more than energy affordability and illegal immigration. But you wouldn’t know that from the New York Times. Also,…

Episode 110: Canada’s Dark Turn
How did Canada, previously known for its politeness, become home to a widespread, violent antisemitic movement? Attacks on Jews are higher per capita in Canada than anywhere else in the West. Montreal has been called the “antisemitism capital of North America.” Today, Josh is joined by Jesse Brown, editor and publisher of the independent news and podcast company Canadaland. In a recent series called “What is Happening Here,” he delved into the antisemitism spreading across the country. Josh speaks with him about unique ways in which Canadian media fuels this bigotry, including by failing to report who carries out hate…

Episode 109: What Lawsuits Expose
Legal action can be the most powerful opportunity to uncover the corruption and lack of journalistic standards inside news agencies. A lawsuit exposed how Fox knowingly lied to its audience about the 2020 election. Now, a lawsuit over a disastrous op-ed could expose realities from inside The New York Times. Today, Josh explains why the threatened lawsuit in response to Nicholas Kristof’s column doesn’t have to lead to a plaintiff’s victory in order to pay off. Discovery is the key. Josh is in an unusual position to explain this, because he took legal action against his employer while at CNN.…

Episode 108: Propaganda in Class
A new bill of global importance has become a law. It could set a template for the entire country. Around the world, anti-democratic nations are watching this, because they know it’s a strike against one of their big goals: influencing the minds of American children. Today, Josh is joined by a woman who led the effort to expose foreign influence over what’s taught in U.S. schools. Inspired by proof of Qatar’s propaganda efforts, State Rep. Esther Panitch, a Georgia Democrat, spearheaded legislation to make her state the first to require a new kind of reporting. When she drew attention to…

Episode 107: Gerrymandering & The ‘Unholy Alliance’
A Supreme Court decision about voting rights became “stop the presses” news. But the media left out a big part of the story: the history of Black Democratic groups and white Republican groups working together to create more majority-Black districts. Today, Josh explains the math behind the effort. Then, hear dramatic sound from the capture of a knife-wielding UK terrorist who attacked Jewish people. The BBC pretended the latest in a long string of attacks was “shocking.” The network also muted a guest’s microphone when he cited incitement by far-left politicians. And the BBC helped a far-left politician avoid answering…

Episode 106: Violence & Anonymity
The giant chasm between the media and reality has never been as clear as it is now, in the wake of a shooting at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. News agencies have long ignored and downplayed left-wing violence. Instead of covering it, they’ve run cover for it and churned out content designed to radicalize people even further. Now, that hatred hit home. Today, Josh shares proof that left-wing violence is more popular than right-wing violence in America, especially among young people. Plus, former guest Mike Pesca points out something important about what the authorities did to the shooter at…

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.
