The NYT Lying Machine on Syria by Stephen Lendman
Everything it reports about war in Syria is willful deception, disinformation, and Big Lies - whats most important to explain suppressed.
Its articles and commentaries read like US administration and Pentagon press releases, responsible journalism abandoned, fake news replacing it.
The Times: The Syrian governments response to rebellion, continuing year after year, threatens to normalize levels of state brutality not seen in decades.
Fact: No rebellion occurred, no uprising, no revolution.
Fact: Syria was invaded by ISIS and other US-supported terrorists. No moderate rebels exist.
Fact: Washington and its rogue allies want its sovereign independence eliminated, pro-Western puppet rule replacing it - no matter the cost in lives lost, chaos and human misery.
The Times: The
Security Council is paralyzed
Two weeks (after Trumps attack on Syrias Shayrat airbase, its) government, backed by Russia, continues its scorched-earth bombings.
Fact: Washingtons rage for war prevents responsible Security Council actions on Syria.
Fact: Its military and allied ground forces, greatly aided by Russian air power are responsibly combating US-supported terrorists - monsters responsible for CW attacks and other gruesome atrocities.
The Times: The conflict began in 2011, with political protests
Syrian security forces cracked down
(S)ome of Mr. Assads opponents took up arms. The government responded with mass detentions, torture, starvation sieges and bombing of rebel-held areas.
Fact: The Obama administration orchestrated war on Syria for regime change. Assads opponents are US-supported terrorists, cold-blooded killers not rebels, responsible for mass slaughter and destruction, aided by Pentagon terror-bombing.
Fact: Claims about government crimes of war and against humanity are fabricated, wanting Assad demonized to enlist public support for regime change.
The Times: The Geneva Conventions on protecting civilians in wartime - never consistently enforced - are now openly flouted.
Fact: Washington, NATO, Israel and their rogue allies are responsible for whats falsely blamed on victims like Assad, his government, nation and others devastated by US imperial viciousness.
Dont expect The Times or other media scoundrels to explain, consistently on the wrong side of history - supporting made-in-the-USA pure evil instead of responsibly condemning it.
