The Blogs: Trump Plane Fiasco Exposes Media Hypocrisy on Qatar

2 days ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Josh Levs

The concept of a US president being open to accepting a plane from the Qatari government should be shocking. Unfortunately, Trump’s behaviors have already left so many Americans exhausted that they’ve got little ability left to experience shock. But while the media uproar over this idea makes sense, it also exposes deep hypocrisy.

The Blogs: Is Mohsen Mahdawi the new George Santos?

1 week ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Josh Levs

A person rises to a position of power by making claims about his background and saying things people want to hear. As he begins to face serious trouble, he gains huge media attention and the press hangs on his every word. Along the way, he exploits Jewish trauma. And it turns out that the backstory he has been peddling is packed with falsehoods. Yes, this describes former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison.
The Blogs: Anti-Israel bias blinded the media to political reality

2 weeks ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Josh Levs

If there was ever a time for certain big “mainstream” news organizations to realize how far they’ve moved away from the actual American mainstream, it’s now. The first extensive look at the November election shows these news outlets that Americans aren’t buying what they’re selling. Perhaps the clearest example is the New York Times. When then Vice President Kamala Harris lost, the paper rushed to argue that she should have moved farther to the left in rewarding the anti-Israel hate movement.
Trump-storm & Helicopters

In the wake of Trump’s lie-fest to Congress, news agencies are offering fact checks. If only these were the rule, rather than the exception. Media failures have left people with no news agency they trust to bring them the truth. That helps Trump and propagandists across the world.

Evil

The same news organizations that decry “both-sidesism” are rushing to engage in it now. But people of good conscience are processing the horror of the Bibas children’s slaughter with moral clarity. It’s not just the Bibas family. The entire Siman Tov family was slaughtered in the October 7 massacres by Hamas in Israel. And hostages of all ages have been killed. News agencies append alleged Gaza “death tolls” to these reports without basic context. This is a journalistic fiasco.
The Hard Truth: Deradicalizing Gaza

Feb 14, 2025 | theystandcorrected.substack.com | Josh Levs

By denying reality, news agencies are setting the world up for more devastating wars in the future. I explain in the latest episode of They Stand Corrected:Yet again, the media responded to a Trump shocker with misguided, context-free hot takes. They showed they’ve learned nothing — not just from covering Trump previously, but from history. American history. In this episode, why we must look at the U.S. Civil War, World War I and World War II. You’ll hear from experts.
Hypocri-Nazi

Is there anyone you can think of in the media -- any prominent figure in big national media -- who calls out hatred equally, whether it's coming from the right or the left? For this episode, I went looking and did find someone, but not in America. It's someone across the pond whom you'll hear from. I've been following the media's responses to Elon Musk's gesture that might have been a Nazi salute when he was celebrating Trump's inauguration.
