To everyone suffering in the L.A. fires, thoughts with you. In this episode, Josh explains what he’s keeping an eye on, and how you can flag news reports — both good and bad — for the show to examine.

In this final episode before the (some of you will gulp here) presidential inauguration (deep breath), Josh has an optimistic message. While it’s difficult to see liars rewarded — whether they’re politicians, news organizations, or even terrorist groups — there’s reason for hope. Movements spark countermovements. Together, we can launch a countermovement for truth.

As part of this, Josh talks listeners through the untold story of Meta, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, choosing to end fact checking. It’s very much a case of news organizations wanting “rules for thee but not for me.” 

Plus, what a popular band’s name change signified. And eloquent words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
