Big Media routinely tunes out information, presents a two-dimensional narrative, and insists that it’s the whole story. That’s been happening in recent days, in coverage of mass layoffs at the Washington Post.

Today, Josh explains what the media won’t admit: The Post, just like other news giants, is suffering from its own journalistic failures. He takes you through some of the paper’s worst recent disasters.

He also explores how tunnel vision is skewing coverage of Bad Bunny’s halftime show at the Super Bowl and a horrific mass slaughter in an African country.

And a listener asks Josh whether Trump is really trying to “nationalize” elections. He tells you what the media has left out.

It’s a major story involving the First Amendment and protecting children. The media is getting basic facts about it wrong. Even worse, it’s missing the big picture. Today, Josh explains how the media is digging a hole, and dragging America down with it.

The story involves arrests of so-called independent journalists who were at a protest inside a Minneapolis-St. Paul church. To help us all see what it’s really about, Josh takes us back to a major event 50 years ago.

Meanwhile, another story is turning out to be much bigger than it may seem: The guy formerly known as Kanye West is apologizing for his antisemitism and other bigotry, according to the media. But is he? When news giants tell you something happened, what steps do they take to make sure it really did? Unlike the media, Josh seeks proof.

These stories have a common thread. In both cases, the media is showing a contempt for a basic principle of democracy and journalism.

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 that it did, what are they saying?

Unlike the media, Josh shows you what was changed in the report before it aired — and what wasn’t.
