Group of Syrians Respond to Jeremy Bowen’s “Coverage” of #Syria

 "We are appalled by BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen’s coverage from Damascus the last few weeks especially his coverage from Maloula, the historical Aramaic village. As the Middle East editor, Mr Bowen is seen as the expert who can provide fair coverage and in depth analysis of the situation wherever he travels. But in this very last trip, right after the chemical attack by government forces on Eastern Ghouta took place, we find Mr Bowen’s coverage showing the regime’s line without posing the right questions for the audience."

 I noticed yesterday Jeremy Bowen talking of "a war that Syrians and foreigners can fuel, but can't stop,"* and thought it a wrong opinion, based on the conventional media narrative that nothing can be done to protect the Syrian revolution from Assad's barbarism, and certainly not objective reporting. Or this** from last week, "Syria has become a proxy war, a boxing ring with no rules in which regional powers use Syrians to fight their battles."
