In the morning, if I have to wake up at a certain time, I set my clock radio to a radio station to start playing at that set time. Because my radio is old it has only AM stations, I have the dial set to the local news station – KOGO, 600. This morning because the radio dial had been inadvertently nudged s bit, I woke up listening to KFI, 640, which is out of L.A. It did not take me long to realize that what was being reported was not straight news, but was opinion-news.
Initially, the announcer was saying how horrible it was that innocent Palestinians in Gaza were being killed because they were lining up to get food. “Israel has got to stop killing innocent people.”
However from Daybreak Insider:
“After global reports accused Israel of killing 30 civilians near an aid site in Rafah, IDF denied firing in the area; Citing initial findings, officials blamed Hamas for fabricating the event and obstructing food aid to Gaza residents. IDF spokesperson released a comprehensive response to the accusations regarding the killing of 30 people by gunfire at the aid distribution area in Rafah, claiming that no shooting took place in the vicinity of the compound. Hours after the reports had already echoed around the world, the military accused Hamas of spreading lies — similar to the claim made by the American foundation that “the more successful we are, the more Hamas will report ‘fake massacres’”
The next KFI story had to do with the possible new Medicaid requirements that would take away Medicaid from millions of people that need it, such as disabled children and adults. I found that interesting because what is being proposed is that
able bodied young-middle aged men on Medicaid, who are able to work, have to either work or volunteer. Of course KFI did not mention the millions of waste, abuse, and fraud that occurs with Medicaid, but merely focused on how difficult, if not impossible, any trimming of Medicaid would be … more opinion-news!
