Events did not play out as straight forward as you describe them. If your only source is the 6 o'clock news then yes that really is what you believe. But if you had followed the conflict closely and relied on a variety of independent sources you would have a much different picture.

Who said I wasn't following the events closely? Not only have I followed them closely, I also have many relatives there who have been severely affected by the situation and witnessed first-hand what the regime has done. Some have been imprisoned and tortured for simply speaking out.

Rather than pointing at ambiguous 6 o'clock news and blindly judging what I know, please state some facts that refute my statements.

If your news source is "alduniya" or "almanar" or any other pro-regime outlet then you have no right to talk about anyone having distorted pictures of what's going on.

If you actually have a valid point then present it. What did exactly happen?

I have not been following the conflict closely. (Note I'm not the grandparent poster.) What picture should I have?
