Uncovering Syria...in Arab media

Hizbullah TV (at least from its website) wishes to ignore what is happening in Syria.  They seem to stick to their position: that the Syrian people should put up with bloody repression because the regime provides support for Hizbullah.  Orange TV (for Michel `Awn), basically covers Syria using Syrian TV footage: they don't show peaceful demonstrators: they only show young men throwing rocks and they air interviews with "security forces" suffering from wounds and stabs.  But Al-Manar TV has other sources: they rely on "analysis" by Franklin Lamb.
