Human Rights Watch, The International Campaign to Destabilize Syria
Al Jazeera CNN Human Rights Watch International Business Times (IB) Media Propaganda Social Experiment The Guardian U.S. State Department
"Many mainstream media websites helped a fake video go viral this month. The video showing a young Syrian boy running through sniper fire to save a little girl, was exposed as a fake when the Norwegian producer Lars Klevberg made the fact public. One of the stated aims of the Norwegian film makers was to “see how the media would respond to a fake video.” This article examines how that experiment went."

"The self-described “leftist” UK political commentator Owen Jones has written virtually nothing on the Syrian conflict.

No doubt, like any self-respecting petty bourgeois leftist of London, Jones gets his information from the wests supposed liberal establishment newspapers, who in recent years have stood proudly alongside right-wing media in cheerleading for disastrous western-led wars of aggression."
