First the headline: "Wave of bombings kills scores in area of Syria loyal to Assad".
Second the story: "A wave of coordinated bombings in Syria claimed by the Islamic State killed at least 78 people Monday in the usually calm coastal area where Russian troops are based, Syrian state media reported."
Third, the story: "The coastal area is populated mostly by members of Assad’s minority Alawite community who have remained loyal to him throughout the war". Liz Sly personally interviewed the residents and found out that every single one of them, children included, are "loyal to Asad". Can you imagine if a random bombing in Israel is reported as: "bombings kill scores in area loyal to Netanyahu"? She would be fired on the spot.
