russia and iran the world this is the with me of allah thanks for joining us the most gruesome episode in syria's uprising is quickly turning into a p.r. battle as each side and their allies portion blame for this slaughter in houla just four days after the murders of over one hundred men women and children the media has been flooded with images furthering one of the other gender. reports authenticity has taken a back seat. when the b.b.c. ran this they say from iraq mistakingly claiming it was syria it led to some fifth criticisms somebody is using my images from iraq as propaganda against the syrian government to prove the massacre i'm really surprised that an organization like the b.b.c. cannot be bothered to check sources and is ready to publish any image sent by a citizen activist or journalist or whoever they are the b.b.c. is like a british woman club it always supports majors wars and even though there's no
5:02 am
conspiracy the reporter women wrote this i'm sure they were told you it's part of a general malaise in the b.b.c. that always calls for intervention and the use of major. developing. the from the very beginning the syrian crisis has seemed to be distorted at every turn and by both sides throughout the last months the world seen fake video reports and false statements that it hasn't quelled the sensation hungry media from jumping the gun on any shocking piece of news coming from the country ravaged by conflict and its cause that the peace plan is now failing visited damascus in a statement he said. the government to take steps to signal that it is serious in its intention to resolve this crisis peacefully and this message of peace is not only for the government but for everyone every individual

with a gun but while many media outlets loudly condemn the regime there has been little criticism of the open and blatant funding and arming of the syrian opposition a move that is to massively undermine ceasefire attempts and now the war drums again seem to be beating turn raise from the stop the war coalition called this the benghazi moment the moment where things are portrayed as being so bad that there's no other option but intervention. remember cry in the western press some from western governments over similar occasions in kosovo remember the way in which saddam hussein regime was characterized because of its frosties in iraq the same rhetoric john says could lead to even more lives lost we saw what happened in libya with this everybody understood the gadhafi regime. horrible dictatorship but when the western we ended up with thirty five. already is estimated that more than ten
5:04 am
thousand lies have been lost in the conflict the death toll continuing to rise even was the un observers have been in the country but inside syria and amidst the devastation there is still hope for syria that doesn't move over oppression intervention we are completely against arming the uprising. we are against. we declared that very clear very loud the mistake made by the b.b.c. it goes to show the real problems when covering the syrian conflict the events of recent weeks of also showing that the mudslinging finger pointing and accusations that have been such a mark of the syrian crisis have only served to me further away and not closer to the tree that's the truth the people in syria have been paying with their lives third thing. and commenting on the b.b.c.'s blunder with the iraq picture

journalists and human rights investigator keys home and snow says there's simply no way it could have been posted by mistake. this particular photograph claiming to be a massacre of children in syria was years for a major element of the gander accusing saddam hussein's government of killing all these children often first by so it was a nasty piece of propaganda it was very well known where his photograph came from if people believe that this is accidental or if it's citizen journalism they are really deceiving themselves these images are certainly used to paddle the war the manufacture of consent as we were given by the book by non chomsky for example or the claim that we can't get journalists into syria i think is nonsense there are cia agents through m i six even if there are most not agents all over the place in syria at this very moment as they were in libya manufacturing images about libya claiming to be you tube videos they were citizen journalism you can see from the label activist or photo from activists i mean that's nonsense to the b.b.c.
5:06 am
just doesn't do that they don't pull down photos from an activist and post them without everything they do is fact checked this is propaganda no mistake no action . and despite what many media reports would have you believe what happened in houla is still open for debate and no one has yet been able to verify it any witness accounts some people who claim they were at the heart of the massacre offered a very different perspective compared to what stimulating mainstream coverage say. but of fire and that they attacked and killed all the soldiers that raged rocks then the bandits stormed our towns and burned the hospital in our hula they even killed our pharmacist at his truck store because he treated it wounded soldier our children can't go to schools we can't go out into the phone fields and work no one but the army can protect us. that the armed gangs came yesterday and they said either you help us kill soldiers a policeman or we will kill you then they started killing our wives and children
