Scandal

How Trump and Vance are pushing the media to repeat its 'Hillary's emails' fiasco

Episode 24 is up!

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are trying desperately to get the media to declare something -- anything -- involving Kamala Harris and Tim Walz a “scandal.” Today, I show how transparent this effort is, and the dangers of the media falling for it as they did with Hillary Clinton’s emails. Hear what Stephen Colbert has to do with this. Also, I invite you to come up with an acronym for Trump's many, many scandals.

Meanwhile, a scandal at the world’s largest broadcaster. A study shows the extent of the BBC’s institutional, antisemitic bias against Israel. I speak with Trevor Asserson of the newly launched Campaign for Media Standards, who oversaw the research. It involved a massive amount of reporting analyzed by humans and A.I.

Plus, an announcement. I’m going on the road, together with a pivotal figure in U.S. history: George Hocker, America’s first Black spymaster in the CIA. His story was secret until now. Here’s our piece for Newsweek.

In this episode, I also explain why people of all backgrounds and faiths will benefit from those of us who, like me, choose to sign something called the Jewish Future Promise. Use my unique link to sign it, and the organization will make a contribution toward the expenses of They Stand Corrected! And please share it with anyone else who may be interested: bit.ly/3XMHSxy
