Episode notes
Media’s Uncorroborated Drug-Boat Narrative
- The Washington Post's drug-boat story relied on thin sourcing and lacked broad corroboration across outlets.
- Josh Holmes argues that parsing legal technicalities missed the larger context: these strikes targeted narco-terrorists trafficking fentanyl into the U.S.
Verify Security Scoops Before Acceptance
- Be skeptical of single-source national-security scoops until other major outlets corroborate key details.
- Verify with multiple independent sources before accepting claims that accuse officials of war crimes.

- Hosts argue that whether it takes one or multiple strikes is immaterial once a target is deemed a valid wartime threat.
