Just as Trump returns to the White House, a tactic he has used to try to crack down on the media is facing a historic legal test — and the media itself seems totally unaware. Today, a top legal expert joins Josh to explain why a lawsuit no one saw coming could affect what the media is allowed to say about anyone, including you. 

They also discuss why, contrary to popular belief, truth is not always a defense against defamation. You’ll hear about precedent-setting news coverage of the worst bridge accident in U.S. history and a woman who shot two people. And Josh shows that the media have been throwing around a term they don’t understand, even though it involves them. 

Meanwhile, with a few hostages taken from Israel returned as part of a cease-fire deal, Josh shares what he’s watching out for in the coverage, and a crucial distinction the media is failing to provide. Plus, a new tool you can use to respond to major news outlets on social media, instantly, fact checking their false claims.
