In the news

The first four quotes are to the arming of the Free Syrian Army by the West and its proxies. Do you recall the car bombings in Aleppo?

Remember my contention that the liberal left press were supine? In the last part of the fourth quote from the Guardian, the writer claimed that hopes of a peaceful resolution had evaporated. Hence the fifth quote, questioning the failed UN resolution which while ostensibly calling for a ceasefire was actually for regime change. The ceasefire was one sided as a further part of the fifth quote points out. The fifth quote shows parallels between UN 1973 Libya and the failed resolution on Syria.

How many atrocities and war crimes do we need before the media start to be sceptical of Western states propaganda on the next threat?

For all the claims of an Iranian nuclear weapons program, there's been no evidence found by the IAEA in a recent report. Seymour Hersh said "They found nothing. Nothing. No evidence of any weaponization. In other words, no evidence of a facility to build the bomb. They have facilities to enrich, but not separate facilities to build the bomb. This is simply a fact."

Yet the Guardian makes contrary claims:

So much for the liberal press. Are you familiar with Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model?

I'm familiar with the concept that lies & duplicity are commonplace in the Middle East - on all sides.

If that's your point, ok, I think we all get it, and those that haven't, aren't going to get it whatever you post.

I'm still a little concerned that you seem to be giving some very questionable 'journalism' a pass.
