Anne Barnard's methods

I was thinking yesterday: the political biases of Anne Barnard on Syria are such that she never finds one Syrian who supports Bashshar, not one.  She does manage to interview people who she says are supportive of Bashshar, but she manages to always extract from them sayings against Bashshar.  This is a woman who had been steadily predicting the demise of the regime week after week, and only last week managed to produce a corrective. Yet, when all media in the world are reporting advances by the regime forces and retreat by rebel forces, she alone stood yesterday to write that well, the regime is not really advancing, and of course she has unnamed experts, observers, activists to back her up.  How I miss you, Tony Shadid.
