I applied for a visa to report in Syria and I was just rejected. The American journalists allowed in are the ones the regime can trust to parrot Assad and Russia’s propaganda. https://t.co/MdRrNrtbjS— Shane Bauer (@shane_bauer) April 18, 2018
'@PearsonSharp's recent report on #Syria at @OANN shows there is still real journalism in the US: unlike his colleagues, he actually went to the city of #Douma and spoke to local Syrians - no evidence of chemical attack found, citizens support Assad & view "rebels" as terrorists pic.twitter.com/V6AanfaxNc— Russia in RSA 🇷🇺 (@EmbassyofRussia) April 17, 2018
The regime allows in “journalists” who have little actual experience. A “government escort” from a regime notorious for killing and torturing dissidents takes this guy to Douma and he reports “I talked to the people in these towns and they said they loved Bashar al-Assad.”— Shane Bauer (@shane_bauer) April 18, 2018
OANN’s White House reporter has tons of experience reporting from conflict zones and is one of the best young journalists I know. It’s telling that they chose not to send him.— Andrew Feinberg (@AndrewFeinberg) April 19, 2018
