Say anything about the Syrian regime

I wrote before: Western and Arab (Saudi and Qatari) media basically permit anything to be said about the Syrian regime.  If you say that they have used nuclear and biological weapons, you cant refute that lest you are accused of sympathy for the lousy regime. So lies and exaggerations (mentioned in the Arab League monitors' report) are allowed to stand.  Here, the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law, Al-Arabiyyah, maintains that Homs has been bombed by fighter jets for the 12th day in a row.  We have video footage (real and fabricated) coming out of Syria at the rate of 5 per minute, and not one shot of those fighter jets while bombing?
