Host, They Stand Corrected: The new podcast fact checking the media.

[Josh Levs - host, They Stand Corrected @JoshLevs]

CNN's "fact check" about Israel pushed *lies*, including a *new* one about the IDF & civilians. These fuel violence against Jews. In Episode 18 of They Stand Corrected, I share the proof. https://t.co/Uqy57zGFdi
@CNN, correct your reporting NOW.

The Left has closed its doors to Zionists—but there's plenty of room for a guy who had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years.

[Educators for Israel (JewTLA) @JewTLA]

Last night, at an official UTLA House of Representatives meeting, 160 credentialed teachers — the people who teach your children — spent thirty minutes denouncing me by name, declared that Zionism is racism, and then voted to expel me. I never said a single word the entire meeting.

For two hours I sat silently as an observer, which is my right as a union member in good standing. Then someone noticed I was there. What followed was half an hour of teachers explaining how terrible I am, how Zionism is racism, and how I had personally tried to get them fired — stories I don’t recognize and that anyone who knows how schools work would find laughable.

Then they voted out the only Orthodox Jew in the room.

No charges. No process. No hearing. Just organized hostility, a vote, and a gavel.

I’ve been doing antisemitism accountability work in K-12 education for years. I file complaints. I document. I publish. I name names. Apparently my silent presence on a Zoom call is a five-alarm emergency.

I want to be clear about what happened: a union used official meeting time to conduct a public denunciation of a Jewish advocate, then expelled her for the crime of showing up and saying nothing.

I’ve been kicked out of better places.

But I’ve never been more certain the work is landing.

@CorieWhalen Thankfully I'm connected to two of them and we're deciding what to do next. They're much more vulnerable than me and it's not an easy decision considering what NYT just did to us/me.

[Josh Levs - host, They Stand Corrected @JoshLevs]

@lyndseyfifield The things you describe are absolutely journalistic malpractice. If you have notes and evidence, keep all of it! Don't fawn; the Times is awful these days, very deeply skewed to help the far left in every way it can. Let's talk for https://t.co/Em4jO4xrKW

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

@KarluskaP This is awesome. Fetterman for president.

[Karli Bonne’ 🇺🇸 @KarluskaP]

Sen. John Fetterman when asked about Graham Platner, he said who P hustle? The reporter with a puzzled and perturbed look on her face replied: is that what you call him Fetterman replied: no that’s what he calls himself. 🤣

Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks

Like I said - don’t come to my jurisdiction and steal from my constituents.

[gabedraws @gabedrawsX]

It's BAFFLING to me that the media almost NEVER mentions Hezbollah and their continual attacks on Israel when talking about Lebanon.
I mean... it's par for the course. What's baffling is that people aren't wise to the strategy yet: elide the aggressor to vilify Israel.
It's the same strategy used throughout the ENTIRE Israel/Hamas war.
You'd think someone would MENTION it...??

[Josh Levs - host, They Stand Corrected @JoshLevs]

People like @Sarah4Texas understand real justice is nonpartisan. “If you commit crime in my counties and try to defraud my constituents, we will investigate you, and we will go arrest you, no matter where you are.” @HoustonChron

The NYT just confirmed what we all knew: Graham Platner 100% knew his tattoo was a Nazi tattoo, and not just any Nazi tattoo. He called it his "Totenkopf" which was the insignia of the concentration camp guards. This is the man the Democrats are lining up to stand by and defend.

“He was like, I would rape them to show them that I’m dominant,” she said.

Asked about those remarks, a Platner campaign official did not dispute them.
