US media about Egypt and Syria: ask Liz Sly and Anne Barnard about that

Look at those two narratives:
On Syria, ALL US media stick to one scenario: that protests in Syria were peaceful and liberal and secular but when the regime employed brutal tactics (as if the regime was ever peaceful prior) those same protesters immediately grew their beards and turned violent and Jihadi.
But in Egypt: the Sisi regime is at war with various groups and protesters but the same US media presents his war as one against terrorism (although Bashshar makes the same claim as Sisi). What gives?
