RWarehall: Mainstream Media. This Canadian journalist has been to Allepo 6 times, speaks Arabic, talked to the people, talked to the refugees as they were liberated. Points out any number of claims that are just not true.
Zjeraar: I always get this itch when I hear the cliché that the mainstream media somehow aren't capable of covering the real news or are keeping some kind of agenda as soon as an "independent" reporter comes along telling a different story. My question then is: What makes one choose this one reporter over dozens of on-the-scene reporters working for known news outlets?
I googled around a bit and quickly found that a couple of her very bold claims, claims you are referring to, are, as it seems,
simply incorrect.
This is quite an eyeopener:

I am sure Assad is no angel, but the funding of fringe radical groups with weapons and money, the training of these fringe members by a third state's military, the import of mercenaries or other extremists to fight with those fringe groups until a civil war breaks out challenging the current government of a country is not unheard of. And have you ever heard anything what comes after Assad is gone, a wonderful democratic secular state? That worked so good in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lybia.
Just look at South America in the 70s-90s, you really do not want to know what the CIA and other foreign ngo groups have pulled off in countries there.
And when you follow the development in Syria does it not sound familiar? Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia there is always a new Hitler on the horizon.
In my opinion this is not about Assad or the citizens of Syria, this is about pushing Russia out of the Middle East, trashing Russia gas pipeline plan and establishing a government(whatever that shit show will be) which won't help Iran in case the Israel/US want to march in there.
And the White Helmets are for sure not impartial like Snopes claims.
