Syrian regime TV

Syrian regime TV is an insult to the intelligence of the viewer.  They keep reporting with a straight face about the roving "criminal gangs" that terrorize the country.  They are now obsessed with the "biggest flag" contests.  They sometimes refer to those responsible allegedly for shooting at soldiers and protesters alike as "saboteurs" or "terrorists".  I like how they refer to the security forces as "law preserving forces"  (in Arabic it is funnier because it is regime preserving forces قوّات حفظ النظام).
