An interview I did with Brendan Stone yesterday on his program, Unusual Sources. Their introduction:
“Guest: Eva Bartlett, Canadian journalist, who has visited Syria 4 times in the past three years.
Mainstream media reporting and NGO social-media posts about starvation in the Syrian village of Madaya are designed to elicit an emotional response and build support for military intervention in Syria. Reality on the ground there, and elsewhere in Syria is ignored.
Agitation about Madaya is propaganda in its purest form – telling part of the truth in order to obscure a larger picture. Falsehoods were definitely spread about Madaya, and citizens in the West need to start asking questions about the stories and reporting surrounding Madaya and other Syrian villages. That is, if we are serious about breaking the cycle of war propaganda justifying intervention in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere.”

Note: the Paris attacks were actually one day AFTER the Bourj al-Barajneh bombings… and yet, in the corporate media, no *fair* un-lexiconed coverage of the suffering of Beirut residents due to these terrorist attacks.Filed under: Kafarya al-Foua, media lies, Syria--my interviews, Yarmouk
