The New Podcast Fighting for Truth. Lies and myths are societal poison. As we enter into an even worse era for the rapid spread of misinformation, disinformation and alternative facts, we desperately need trustworthy sources of truth. News media should serve that role. When they dont, were all in trouble. And sadly, every day, news organizations report some things that liars say without telling you whats true. They give these folks platforms to spew dangerous nonsense. They even do this for terrorists. Who holds the media to account? Who fact checks the news? Now, theres a podcast for that. Welcome to They Stand Corrected. In it, Josh tackles the systemic problems that need to be fixed. Each episode focuses on something big that the media keeps getting wrong, why it keeps happening, and what we can all do about it.

Episode 102: Who Owns Your Local News?
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
Get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Celebrate crossing the 100-episode mark and support the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member! A new merger has huge implications for news at the local level — where people still trust the media. Today, Josh explains why this story is even bigger than it seems. Some are presenting the Nexstar-Tegna merger as yet another example of Trump rewarding billionaires who played his game. But some prominent conservative groups, including CPAC, oppose it. Meanwhile, a group that has been giving more money to Democrats than Republicans supports it. Will this merger poison coverage across the country, or is it the key to survival? This story involves the tech giants (Google, Meta, TikTok and more) and a so-called “moat against extinction.” It also sets up an unfair choice between two bad options. Josh explains that there’s a solution. Plus left-wing media figure Kara Swisher sparked headlines by trashing CBS’ new ownership and saying she would not work at CNN under the same owners. Josh explains why this story ended up saying a lot about today’s media, hypocrisy, and blindness to existing dangers. Also, Josh announces the winners — er, losers, of the Media Fail Awards (mediafailawards.com). And he discusses yet another group of Christians slaughtered by Islamist terrorists in Africa.
