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 don’t, we’re all in trouble. And sadly, every day, news organizations report some things that liars say without tellin... more

  • 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

  • This podcast is vital. Josh is brilliant. Journalism is broken and we need people like Josh to restore trust in our 4th branch of government.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 110: Canada’s Dark Turn
Q: What do you see as the core problem in how Canadian media covers anti-Semitism compared to the U.S. or U.K.?
The host and guest discuss how Canada lacks a robust, adversarial media dynamic and often accepts a single national narrative, which can amplify or fail to challenge anti-Semitic trends; they also point to structural issues like funding and newsroom practices that discourage critical reporting.
Episode 78: Hostages: A Media Reckoning
Q: Are there any quality responses that I have seen to the United Nations latest report yet again, accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza?
The response is that there are quality responses available and a good resource called UN Watch which addresses these accusations in detail.
Episode 69: Connectomes
Q: Have you looked at people's intake of news? Like, if people get news from certain places, they are more or less likely to be anti-Israel, anti-Semitic?
If the brain is in an echo chamber where negative associations are coming at them repeatedly, it validates their views, confirming their biases.
Episode 64: Mamdan-gerous
Q: How is Zohran Mamdani attempting to justify his statement that he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to New York, even though he has no legal authority to do so?
Mamdani tries to compare his threat with past actions where leaders defied the law for moral reasons, but his argument lacks legal standing.
Episode 54: Fake Bio
Q: What has Mohsen Madhawi been up to in the United States?
He has been standing on campus calling for the destruction of the Jewish state and radicalizing students.
