How the Economist and Western media calculate the percentage of Syrian territories under the control of the armed opposition



It is hilarious. I now realize how the Western media calculate the percentage of territories in Syria under the control of the Syrian armed opposition. Look at the recent issue of the Economist.  They basically count all the deserts and wildernesses and uninhabited lands as part of the territory of the opposition, so it seems really inflated on a map.
