lies lies and propaganda uggh

 the MSM is full of lies and propaganda about the war and when I find stories that ignore the context to spin the story, I wonder why the MSM editors aren't noticing.

The latest? Israel killed a priest when they bombed Southern LEbanon. Uh, Hezbollah had placed thousands of missiles in civilian areas and has shot hundreds of them into Israel in recent days, so Israel texted locals and told them to leave, but one priest bragged he would not (why? To stop the destruction of the missiles which he knew were there? To please the anti Israel grifters in th eVatican?_ Well never mind.

Then we hear a guy had lots of stuff trying to kill kids in the US at a Jewish daycare center, and the press sympathetically said it was because the bad Israelis killed his family in Lebanon. Uh, what this means is that they killed two of his brothers who were leaders of Hezbollah in that area, and since it takes time to gather the munitions and guy a gun etc. one suspects he had these things ready to use in his garage. 

Ah but his neighbors said he was a nice quiet guy. 

well so was Hitler who had a girlfriend and dogs who loved him and was a gifted artist.

And what about the wife he married toa enabled him to become a US citizen? Nowhere to be found in any stories. Why?

but anyway there is propaganda on both sides 

and lot of US opposition because they prefer to hate Trump than see the big picture of an ongoing threat to the Sunni states nearby, not to mention the oil and the sea lanes.

Latest lie that I noticed being pushed: Fertilizer shortage and we will blame Trump. 

Uh, fellahs, there has been a fertilizer shortage/and high prices for a couple of years, because of the Ukraine war (Potash anyone) any farmer knows this: Indeed, we are organic, but the price of organic fertiliser went up because non organic farmers were buying it now.

well, anyway, Kuya is worrried about everything, but hey I am an old lady and have given up trying to stay up on these fights.

So who do you trust?

I have posted from StrategyPage in the past because they get things correct on countries that I do know what is going on because I lived there and/or have family there (e.g. parts of Africa, parts of South America, and of curse here in the Philippines).

and here is there take: Posted mainly so I can listen to it on my tablet since it is suppertime here then family time at the movies so I don't have time to listen right now:
