It’s a powerful example of why truth requires context. A big, expensive military parade is scheduled in Washington on June 14, the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army — which just so happens to be Trump’s birthday. Protests are planned as well, many of which are organized under the banner “No Kings.” Today, Josh explains why it’s a crucial moment for the media to educate people about some basics of democracy, current events, and U.S. history. But superficial news coverage only makes political divides worse. Also, which U.S. military parade featured a giant bust of a president, and why a new poll of veterans is misleading.

Plus, big media blew it so badly on coverage of an American and Israeli effort to bring aid to Gaza that the White House was able to call out the BBC and other media. It’s the exact opposite of how things should be. Meanwhile, The Washington Post had such an epic fail that it actually pulled something. And The New York Times’ lack of basic logic reared its head yet again.
