There is no debate on Syria in the US: not only in the mainstream media but even in the alternative media and among progressive media and sites. The only debate permitted is this: how tight should the sanctions on Syria be and whether arms should be provided to Syria. People who oppose the armed opposition are not even invited to the children's table: the glamorization of a fake "revolution" continues. The flow of information about war crimes by armed groups did not even make a dent in the coverage because all media resort to the distinction between the good guys (the Fee Syrian Army gangs and their affiliates) and the bad guys (Nusrah Front) when in reality the worst war criminals have been the goons of the FSA.
