Oil and gas media watch groups

This silly March 14 center, which excludes all Gulf regimes from its coverage because they fund it, issued this statement about the abduction by Syrian revolutionaries of Lebanese journalist, Fida' `Itani (who supports the Syrian "revolution", mind you):  "“The rebels announced that they were holding Itani… but pointed out that the reports and videos he made did not prove his involvement with any party against the revolution… The foundation condemns [his] arrest, especially that the rebels have denied that the journalist had in any way acted [against] them, which makes his arrest all the more illogical,” the statement said."  So according to this silly center, abduction of journalists is permissible if they work against this "revolution"?
