Given the extraordinarily biased coverage of this affair (in the UK anyway) this story caught my eye and deserved a mention. Refugees being attacked by Christian militias never really gets much media attention for some reason [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You know that the various sources of news report only what they want to report, right? [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] </font>

Lol, actually I should qualify my post - the bias I referred to wasn't actually referring to the lack of reporting on Christian militias. I just couldn't resist lobbing that in ;)

Bias: Immense coverage to the anti-Syria protests, despite this particular religious group being a minority in the country.

When the majority religious group held a massive pro-Syria demonstration later in the week, only the Financial Times carried the story on the front page - everyone else just ignored it.

I think I'm seeing double standards all around, they're everywhere...aaargh!

Looks like the 'democratic majority voice' only counts when its in agreement with Western anti-Syrian agendas ;)

You know Azred, I do believe I'm learning some paranoia off you!
