Considering that the BBC, along with the rest of the western media, is far from an impartial observer, exercise caution when watching this interview & be especially attentive to the attempts by the BBC journo (BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen) to trick Assad into some “criminal”admission, etc. This kind of semi-truthful coverage is usually put forth by the Western disinformation machine from time to time to restore its badly depleted credibility with the public.

Well said, this well paid misinformer on the BBC payroll knows how to create the illusion of interview while actually grilling, playing inquisitor, to his subject. The BBC—never what its own propaganda claimed, and the same goes for Churchill, the great statesman and antifascist, all a myth——is now a mere prestige appendage to America’s huge Ministry of Truth. The Brits are excellent at this pseudo information thing, as good, or better, than the Americans, whom they culturally taught. We were a bit surprised to watch Assad answer firmly but unfailingly politely to what he obviously saw as an attempt to… Read more »
