That face of Syrian "revolutionaries": munching on body organs

Did you notice how defensive Western media are about that video? I note those reactions:
1) the New York Times as usual buries the story under a different story about crimes of the regime.
2) many news media reported that the guy is really upset because he saw crimes by the Syrian regime.
3) Some media actually quibbled with the facts: that he did not really eat the heart of the man but ate parts of the lung.
4) Many news media opted to totally ignore the story.
5) many media put the story in the context of war crimes in Syria where the regime is solely responsible.
6) Some media focused on the man, saying that he really is not representative.
