Oh, and from here to Syria there isn’t a single ocean.
Ah, that explains why you’re actually well informed on this subject.
Reporters risk their lives for shit and giggles, it’s their job, they are as insane as professional motorbike racers. There’s a big macho culture in news-reporting from hot zones.
These things are undeniable, but I still wonder whether standard levels of journo craziness are enough to make them do it for the express purpose of writing lies. It seems like if they’re there for the adrenaline fix then they might as well be telling the story of what is happening. In any case, don’t you find it interesting that newsmedia from a variety of countries report almost universally? No serious newspapers are, as Cow would have you believe, suggesting that people siding with the FSA unequivocally haven’t used chemical weapons.
