Ad-Diyar newspaper in Lebanon (despite the courage of its editor, Charles Ayyub, in a country where political courage is rare) has become a pro-Syrian-regime propaganda sheet, similar in its front page coverage to Syrian propaganda newspapers, like Tishrin. I mean this first page here has a story that Bashshar Al-Asad congratulated the Queen of Denmark on her birthday. Really.
