So our darling Syrian rebels who our governments provide with much support and our allies arm, have reneged on a deal to swap besieged civilians, and while negotiations had stalled, a suicide car bomb apparently in the form of an aid van was driven up to them and detonated. The death toll stands at at least 126 with at least 68 children burnt to a crisp. The pictures are "too horrible " to show on mass media. Anyway these were Assad supporters and Shi'a Muslims, the "enemy", and on the other hand the rebel supporters being evacuated from besieged towns are being protected by the Russians from being struck in reprisal attacks. This episode goes to show the morals of the actors in this disgusting conflict, but the mainstream medias response to this event is even more telling. It isn't headline news, it's not even mentioned in the Nyt front page "truth grounded in facts"(bullshit grounded in lies), and not condemned in the guardian "fearless independent journalism". The independent surprisingly still allows comment, in which hundreds of commenters recognise the shocking distortion of the article, which shows more sympathy for the evacuated rebels. Are we in a fascist like 1984 style state? Not yet, but journalism like this is a marker that we are heading that way.
