The Qatari-controlled Syrian Observatory for Human Rights

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is the most cited source on the war in Syria.  Western media, with a few exceptions, never question its methods or its obvious bias.  It is a media arm for the Qatari government and consequently for the armed groups in Syria.  Look at this statement by the lousy Observatory in justification of the car bombs that were set off by armed groups in Idlib:  (And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the number of the dead was 24 and that most of them were from the regular [army] forces).  So most of them were army forces but what about the rest?  What about the civilians killed?  When it says "most" of them it means that some of them were NOT from the army.  This is the quality of reporting from the most cited source on Syria. What a sham.
