Western Media has censored the media coming out of Syria. What they have no control of though, is the Media in Russia, or Lebanon and Iraq. And sometimes the BBC reports both sides. I learned this through those sources. Assad still communicates through those venues also. He has done an effective job of disputing everything coming out of the Western Media through those sources. Even Russian journalists have been to Syria and disputed some of the claims about chemical use and who was responsible first hand. One of their journalist witnessed a battle first hand, where Al Nusra militants apparently used chlorine gas in their explosives, resulting in several deaths to civilians. This was reported in the Russian media, and the U.S. don't know why the Russians don't trust what they are saying? Why don't they just lift the censorship coming out of Syria and find out who is really telling the truth? One side is presenting both sides and responding, while the other is using censorship, hoping their public just take them at their word on just blind faith. The recent allegations by whistle blowers, is a very good example of how they operate in secrecy. It is a blessing, the Public hasn't been duped yet again. I also learned about a threat the Iranian Government issued to Jordan, through those sources not reported in the Western Media. It was a serious threat coming from their highest authority in government. You heard nothing about this threat through the Western Media but it is why the Russians insist on the Iranians being part of the negotiations. It could cause serious consequences if the Iranians are not involved, because they see this War as a threat to their National Security. They essentially issued a red line of their own, nad probably is the real reason the U.S. wants to reinforce Jordan. That is part of the information the U.S. is leaving out. Iran issued the threat. long before Syria, the Western Media reported that, but the Iranian threat was more blunt and to the point. They threatened to wipe the Jordan Government out.
