State of the World from NPR

Sextortion is a growing problem and more people need to be aware.

I listened to the podcast with great curiosity and increasing incredulousness. Is it possible for an alleged news source to provide spread more disinformation in 9 minutes? First note, they discuss Israel “dropping bombs” on the same day ceasefire was agreed to without any mention that it was in response to rockets being shot from Gaza. The discussion regarding the nonsense Hamas casualty number of 46K+ “mostly women and children” casualties which is not only statistically IMPOSSIBLE given the demographics of Gaza but Hamas itself admitted that it does not have information to support even HALF of its casualty tolls (especially considering they always have numbers within moments of a strike unlike any other nation in the history of war games) but the UN has also confirmed that Hamas has not appropriately accounted for it alleged dead (spoiler alert - it bc they are combatants and/or a lie). The MOST INSANE minute was the discussion of Palestinians detainees being exchanged for hostages. Detainees? These are convicted terrorists. 2 of which are serving life sentences for mutdering a sleeping family of 5 in bed. The oldest child was 4.5 years old. Another proudly admits that raping and stabbing a 19 year old girl was “the greatest gift he gave Allah”. Detainees?? You discuss the Israeli “squeeze” without any mention of the TONS (literally) of aid that Israel has gotten through the border which every single NGO and UN group has admitted is being stolen by Hamas for financial gain or to simply increase the demonization of Israel? Bc god forbid Hamas be held accountable for their well documented decades length of human rights abuses against their own people. Who is served b this tragic miscarriage of journalism? Do not even get me started on the FIVE 2 STATE SOLUTIONS that have been rejected by the Palestinians. It was never about the land…You know that right?!? The responsibility of how long and horrible this war falls squarely on the West and this irrational desire to make sure that Hamas doesn’t take responsibility for any of their atrocities. But why? Make it make sense ….if I could give this podcast a less than 1 star review I would. Shame on you.

I don't like the fluff episodes about horses loose in London, fax machines in Germany, etc. I prefer a more focused podcast feed. I have lots of podcast options. If I wanted a fluffy podcast, I'd go get a fluffy podcast. Please focus.
