This week, the world has seen the release of the 20 living, remaining hostages in Gaza, celebrations in Gaza for the return of convicted terrorists, and what’s being called the end of the Israel-Gaza war. “It’s all taking place against a backdrop of profound media failure,” Josh explains in this episode. “We can't really understand what's happening without understanding how the media has twisted everything, lengthening this war and helping the hostage takers hold on to them in hellish captivity for all this time.”
It’s not just about one war. All the tactics that led to October 7th are being adopted by other Islamist terrorist groups around the world. Without the media helping people understand the truth, the world won’t act or prepare.
Today, Josh shows you how the media usually presents hostage situations, and how it refused to follow the same template this time. It's a major shift involving false equivalence and downplaying heroics. It also explains why virtually no one in the media is asking a crucial question right now -- one that affects how the United States, European countries, and other countries deal with terrorists in the future. Did we just end an era?
Plus, the best known figure on a global news network actually apologizes. If only she’d do the same for her other lies.
