desperate for news

It is funny that Western and Arab (oil and gas-funded) media report that "clips on Youtube" showed this or that demonstration in Syria. Do you bother to watch some of them?  Today, Al-Arabiyyah (news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) reported (for the umpteenth time) that clashes have now reached Damascus and kept airing video of "demonstration in Damascus" in Hajar Al-Aswad.  These are small gatherings in small alleys.  People gather they raise a banner and take a video and upload it to Saudi and Qatari media.  I watched it twice and counted what appeared to be twenty people.  Yet, this scene of twenty people gets more airtime than scenes of hundreds of thousands of demonstrators who support the regime--whether one likes it or not.  If you want to kill and uprising, surrender it to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
