All day yesterday, the BBC was reporting that people displaced from Baba Amru gave "detailed accouns"of slaughter by lousy Syrian regime troops. Only the BBC never shared with us those details. At one point they said witnesses said that checkpoints would let women and children go, and then apprehend the men; but in the same report they would say that one family reported that a 12-year old had his throat cut. Just like that. As to why the troops had to use a knife and not a gun, was not explained. Yet, even the most anti-Syrian regime news networks in Lebanon, like MTV, talked to many refugees and none reported what Paul Wood reported on the bases of one person who told him that story. The one story from one person lead all news reports on the BBC yesterday under the headline:refugees gave detailed accounts of slaughter by Syrian troops.
PS Oh, and they also reported on Russian election. They had an opposition figure who said that Putin rigged the election. The announcer told her that clearly many Russians did support Putin. She said: yes, but due to misinformation. BBC news is now comparable to Arab news:I mean Syrian and Saudi regime news networks. Kid you not. A joke really.
