As the media “blows it” in coverage of the war between Israel and terrorists, another story is getting buried: the incomparably huger death toll in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Today, Josh takes you inside that reporting to show how the media can follow basic editorial standards when it wants to. You’ll also hear how journalists remind audiences of the war’s origins and describe Putin.

The media assails “propaganda” from certain countries, especially on Twitter, while simultaneously reporting propaganda as fact. Josh tells you about an international organization for journalists, beloved by the media, that recently organized a propaganda campaign of its own. Some big news agencies took part — and none called out the hypocrisy.

Also, Josh ties up a couple of loose ends from previous episodes, involving jury selection and a survey of Americans during wartime. 

Your responses to the episode about the national debt were overwhelming! It’s $37 trillion, bigger than the U.S. economy, and fuels inflation. Here’s something we should DO: Sign this petition from sponsor Concord Action at bit.ly/4m9uHQt. It’s just four sentences, and will get the attention of lawmakers.
