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.

  • Fresh perspective

    Josh Levs asks the tough questions about the coverage more than the actual story so that we can make our own conclusions and not get swayed by media biases. As our society continues to be divided politically, economically and socially, it’s refreshing to have someone hold both sides accountable for the truth.

  • Truth needs to be spread

    Josh Levs does an excellent spreading the truth about Big Media. He is not afraid to call out Islamist terrorism and explain how it is promoted by the MSM.

    Best of all, he is non-partisan.

  • A Must- Listen

    This is the most important podcast in a person’s queue if they truly want to understand how media craft narratives that are false. Josh is fair, factual and even-handed. I often listen in frustration as he peels away the lies and misinformation. I devour every new episode and even revisit those I’ve played. Just a vital podcast if we want to keep the MSM honest. Or if we are interested in the truth.

  • Clearly exposing the media’s bias

    Wow, this podcast really opened my eyes. Josh Lev single-handedly dismantles the medias hypocrisy If you believe the truth matters, you owe it to yourself to listen to this master class, showing how the media is clearly manipulating the Israel - Palestine narrative.

    I did not realize the extent to which the media has been weaponized to control and maintain an anti-Israel narrative. Definitely worth a second and theory listen Thank you
