Sharmine Narwani exposes the fabricated media narrative on Syria
 [SALON] The reporting over the Syrian war these last 8 years has been an interesting masterclass in how to manufacture a narrative. The amount of reporting generated by journalists who never set foot in the places that they reported from was almost unprecedented. During these 8 years only a tiny handful of journalists actually travelled to syria to report on what was going on. Among these are Robert Fisk, Sharmine Narwani, Vanessa Beeley, Carla Ortiz, Eva Bartlett and Elijah Magnier. It's interesting to observe how radically different the reporting from these handful have been from the vast quantities of bullshit provided by the major media outlets.Fisk and "Journalism" in the same paragraph. Riiigghhht In the interview linked before, Narwani goes into some detail on what she personally observed and discovered on the ground in Syria, covering western support (including US, UK, French and Israeli support), the violence of the opposition protests from day 1, the propaganda instrument that was the white helmets, the discovery of a chemical weapons factory run by one of the opposition groups, and how the FSA was essentially indistinguishable from al-qaida in syria, and more. These are not new reports, and elements have been brought to light over the years, some of it by the small list of journalists mentioned above, but this gives a great overview of how western media organisations were, at best willingly duped and at worst knowingly complicit in fabricating a totally false narrative in one of the most deadly wars in the last 2 decades. This is part 1 of a two part series. Part 2 coming soon. Posted by: Herb McCoy 2019-04-26 |
