    Basically. The media are biased, and then they have the gall to accuse other news sources of being "fake".

    Either it's a show or just a farce,
    But with the situation now in Aleppo the actual condition would be far worse than what is being portrayed.
    Only a human being well know and feel what suffering should be with another human being.

    We have the balls to say we hit civilians as well, Russia "news" has magiclly vaporized all civilians from Allepo but blames Israe; and US of that, so, who sells crap to who ?

    Well. Let's have a look. Imagine that a group of people would look at all the grammar mistakes you have. And not only they write you a personal message, but also they would exagerrate and falsify it everywhere and they themselves would make 1000 times more mistakes than you and if you say something like 'I think in this case you are right, but...' - they would create an Internet mem of it... Would you get a habit of rechecking your every post and adopt any ideas which come from the group?

    No! It's obvious now that propaganda in the west cannot get its lies together. The current political group is going away! And they had (still have) every bit of power. They could ignore the rules, make crimes against humanity and ... get awarded! The new group which will inevitably come with Trump can be worse. But in any case the previous failed. So they (and you as their supporter) would better take an example of Bashar-al-Asad. :) He is a 'living dog', which is much better than a 'dead lion'.

    The US and Israeli governments downplay civilian causalities just like the Russian government does. But the hypocrites in the west only object when Russia does it.

    I doubt anyone has claimed Russian bombs don't create civilian casualties. They simply object to the idea that Russia is intentionally targeting civilians.

    It's astonishing that not a single media outlet in the western world raised a question with our authorities about 250-300,000 non-existent civilians who were supposedly trapped in the eastern part of Aleppo. Another blatant lies by our politicians totally exposed by the liberation of Aleppo.

    The girl has enjoyed quite a lot of interest in Western press in their effort to highlight the "Russian and Syrian aggression" in Aleppo and at the same time these same press have shown very little interest for the victims of ISIS and their friends. Yeah sure they show some of it but never make it so dramatic like the kid in the ambulance, or this girl.
    Politicians play with these things to enable people to accept or reject certain things. The kid on the beach enabled the migration. This girl and the kid in the ambulance was meant to strongly oppose Russia and Assad, even more than before.
    Their life means nothing because so many more have been killed by ISIS and their freak friends.

    If people received a realistic view on how reality looked in correct proportions like they would demand everyone to work together with Assad in order to free the country

    A former British ambassador to Syria was interviewed on Today this morning and totally trashed all westernised political 'wisdom' and commentaries of the true situation from the very beginning of the conflict - over the past 5 years they've had it completely wrong?? Even the BBC's arch-liberal reporter Jeremy Bowen was on the back foot, and was agreeing with the Ambassador's summing-up of events, albeit through gritted teeth! In fact the integrity, and the disastrously-flawed judgement of so many US and British politicians is now so compromised I'm surprised the interview was allowed to be broadcast. Loads of (*)(*)(*)(*) gonna be hitting the fan in the very near future, I shouldn't wonder.
