Are there any lies by Syrian armed groups that are not fit to print?

"General Idris said he had been told by rebel officials over Skype that there were more than 100 wounded that the opposition was trying to take to hospitals in neighboring countries, but that Hezbollah and the Syrian military had such a firm grip on the area that it was possible to move the casualties only at night."  The New York Times could have easily checked the news footage from Lebanon yesterday where hundreds of injured fighters were in fact transferred to Lebanon with the help of Hizbullah.  I mean, you don't verify anymore if the story is related to the Syrian "revolution"?
