This week on the show, host Daniel Vaughan does a deep-dive on the current conflict with Israel and Hamas, what’s happening, what to make of two news stories about Israel sending in ground troops, and the other on Israel sending in an airstrike against a building containing international journalists like the Associated Press. He also digs into the history of why organizations like AP are bad at reporting on these situations going all the way back to WWII. Finally, the light item for this week is dedicated to a weird mashup music channel on YouTube that produces things like “Soul Metal.”
