Western
Media Break Their Silence on Aleppo with
Flagrant Lies, Omissions, Obfuscations

Terrorists
mortars, rockets, and Hell Cannon-fired gas
canister bombs continue to rain down on Aleppo
for the past few days (a dramatic increase from
the sporadic but frequent terrorism Aleppo
residents have been ravaged by over the years).
Since April 23, over 1000 terrorists’
rockets/missiles/gas canisters have ravaged
Aleppo (see:
Syria: Aleppo is Burning and Western Media is
Silent), killing at least 40 residents and
injuring over 300, according to al-Alam
journalist, Rabea Kalawandy‘s
April 27 report.
“6
civilians were killed, 25 others wounded when
Islamist rebels fired a barrage of mortars and
homegrown missiles into the government held
districts of Ashrafiyah, Nile Street, Mokambo
and Al-Khalidiyah, in the northern city of
Aleppo.
In a video
published by Anna News, Aleppo residents spoke
out about their daily suffering from the rebel’s
constant shelling that took away many lives and
did massive damage in Government-held Aleppo.”
A
resident speaking in the video had one month
prior lost two sons, as well as his hand and
forearm to terrorists’ shelling on his
neighbourhood.
LYING MEDIA
PLANTING NATO AGENDA ARTICLES:
In a lengthy
April 27 BBC propaganda piece, when it finally got
to the issue of Aleppo, the article said nothing
about the current situation in Aleppo, and for some
reason felt the need to use quotation marks when
referring to established terrorist groups Da’esh and
the Nusra Front:
“Russia,
of course, has said it is largely striking at IS and
al-Nusra “terrorists”.”
Granted, the
piece is meant specifically to be anti-Russian
propaganda, but yet, not a single mention of the
past few days of al-Nusra and other terrorists’
horrific bombardment of Aleppo’s residential areas.
Instead, BBC
inserts an undated photo of Aleppo “subjected to
airstrikes”, a photo with two hefty men resembling
Nusra or other terrorists in the background, one of
whom seemingly wearing military fatigues,
incidentally.
A search on
BBC’s website, using the query “Aleppo”,
unsurprisingly turns up zero other articles (other
than the anti-Russia piece) on Aleppo the past four
days of terrorists’ bombardment of Aleppo.
The Guardian
ran the same photo in its
April 26 piece by authors based in Turkey, this
time with the photo caption: “A wounded boy is
helped out of a ruined building after an air strike
on the Fardous neighbourhood in Aleppo.”
The Guardian
omitted the fact that Fardous is occupied by
terrorists. Further, had the Guardian done a search
on the photographer,
Ameer al-Halabi, they would have found photos
like this showing the photographer’s proximity
to clearly armed terrorists, as well as this
Feb 2016 photo showing so-called “White Helmets”
“rescuers” in Aleppo.
As for the
Guardian piece, it is full of the standard MSM
obfuscations, and does not highlight the crisis that
is Aleppo under terrorists’ bombardment. Instead it
employs the standard accusatory rhetoric, mourns for
the “Civil Defence” aka “White Helmets” aka
terrorist supporters and propagandists.
In fact, BBC,
Guardian, AFP, CBC, etc, all read from the same
tired, lying script: pretending that WH are rescuer
workers, lambasting the Syrian army/airforce/government,
and utterly ignoring or downplaying the immense
tragedy of the massacres actually taking place by
western-backed terrorists. None of this is
surprising, but it is most certainly infuriating.
There is no respect for actual loss of life by
terrorists in Syria; the humanitarian cards are
played and manipulated only to serve the long-dead
rhetoric of the NATO-alliance criminals.
ENDURING THE
BOMBARDMENT:
Syrian
political analyst and freelance writer, Kevork
Almassian,
noted an uplifting development: “The
“Syrian Specialist Hospital” in Aleppo declares it
will treat the injured civilians by the Turkish
Western backed terrorists for free.”
But as
western/corporate media continue to ignore the
terrorists’ bombardment of Aleppo, and as Syrians
there continue to endure the worsening situation,
independent media must ensure that the reality is
told and the lies refuted.
It is unacceptable to slander, smear or engage in personal attacks on authors of articles posted on ICH.
