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 39: Big Money and Terror Confusion
Tuesday, 7 January, 2025
Two figures in recent news have a profound effect on the news industry: $15 million and $30 million. Today, Josh explains how these figures represent a central problem that keeps journalists in fear for their jobs -- and too afraid to speak out about fact checking problems. Also, two recent attacks highlighted confusion over what gets the “terrorism” label. And while news agencies were quick to point fingers at the government, they’re refusing to address a mess of their own making. Josh shares facts about global terrorism that you’ve most likely never heard: the massive number of Islamist attacks that have taken place in recent years, and the huge percentage of total attacks that they comprise, according to a recent count. Plus, the winners -- er, losers -- of the Media Fail Awards! Listeners voted to pick the worst of 2024. Josh announces the results.
