Exposing the Headline Hoax — How Media Gets It So Wrong | Ten Minutes of Truth #60

Learn how to sniff out media malfeasance and dodge the headline hoax machine — so you don’t get duped. This episode of “Barrett & Baxa” peels back the screaming headlines and shows you what really happened when media outlets pick & choose facts. With the skill of a stand-up comic pointing out absurdities, we take you through three juicy examples: an undocumented father pulled out of his truck, a story of alleged police brutality that made no mention of the usual media narrative - race, and a pregnant woman-in-car video that some media tried to sell as a victim narrative. We roast the omissions, highlight the contradictions, and offer up a new acronym for headlines that tell you absolutely nothing. Expect verbal veritas, jokes, sharp commentary on selective outrage, and how to spot when the truth isn’t even in the headline. This isn’t just media criticism — it’s your viewer’s cheat sheet for fact-checking the story behind the story. #MediaMalfeasance #HeadlineHoax #FactCheckComedy #BarrettAndBaxa media malfeasance, headline hoax, fact checking news, selective outrage, undocumented father story, ICE arrest video, police brutality acquittal, Tyre Nichols case, false victim narrative, podcast commentary, current events humor
