#3 the reporter makes comments about the time line that indicate significant editing. the tape is about the 7 min mark and he says that 15 minutes have passed since the strike. so at least 10 minutes edited out there. later at the other site, he makes a comment about how long ago the first strike was that suggests further editing out of 'boring' footage. furthermore the fact that the biggest fights being waged in the Arab Spring have been for western public opinion (and the arabs would far prefer uncle sugar to take out Assad without having to work it themselves) it is no surprise to me that they all want a moment of face time to play up their victim-hood. |
