Many a time harry RT covers subjects which are carried in or on other channels. What they provide is quotes from establishment leaders, politically, financially and military.

Here is today's revelation. it's not so much harry the RT bias it's the quoted statements which are missing from probably your own sources.

Some excerpts for you.

"Al-Nusra Front is a terrorist group and the US will never provide it with any aid, said the State Department, reacting to revelations in a German newspaper – while admitting that unnamed US allies might be backing the jihadist militants in Syria."

"On Monday, the German newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger published an interview with an Al-Nusra commander in Syria, identified only as “Abu Al-Ezz.” In the interview, conducted 10 days ago outside of Aleppo, Al-Ezz said that US allies were providing Al-Nusra with tanks and artillery."

"Asked to clarify if that meant that US allies might be arming Al-Nusra, Toner replied that “countries that support the opposition may want to supply them with assistance.”

Al-Nusra has been receiving funding from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, and has obtained tanks and artillery from Libya via Turkey, according to what the commander, Al-Ezz, told the German newspaper. The group especially appreciated the US-supplied TOW anti-tank missiles.

“The missiles were given directly to us,” he said. “They were delivered to a certain group.”

I have no idea as to the status of the newspaper or the alleged Al-Nusra commander.

What are facts widely supported in many sources .

1. The crusader coalition supports aid for all in Syria, no differentiation between head choppers or ordinary Syrians.
2. The crusader coalition sells or allows the acquisition of military hardware, trains head choppers on the us of the hardware, allows medical aid to reach the head choppers or ships the injured out of area.
3. The crusader coalition renegades on agreements when they fail to manage what they call "moderate" head choppers.
4. The crusader coalition "mistakenly" slaughters SAA and possibly others fighting the head choppers. Why do I use the word slaughter. Because the head choppers officially have no airforce and as such the SAA would not be afraid of aircraft. Possibly in their southern border, adjacent Israel, they do monitor and, allegedly, take down Israeli air assets.

If you feel the sources, the newspaper and the named source are fictitious, say so. If you believe the facts, above, are wrong say so. To blame a fellow poster who reads one particular publisher, RT, is infantile. If you can prove with facts that your sources are more trustworthy do so and I will modify my view. Currently you and some other posters either cannot recognise that, as you suggest, their own sources may be being used in a propaganda war or you cannot except possible alternate views.

I do understand a propaganda war is being raged, what I find infantile is posters using unnamed sources in articles and ignoring the published statements from government officials - from both sides.
