At the time at there were a lot of critics (not in the MSM) who thought it was rather convenient that Assad would launch just a few chemical attacks, on territory largely under his control, right when the West wanted a excuse to attack him. Obama's warmongering and covertly trying to over throw Syria in the open was ignored. As was that fact that ISIS/DAESH was the group mostly likely to be in charge if Assad fell, giving them a major foothold in the Middle East.
Good luck spelling that out in a major newspaper or on TV.
Yup! There is now a MASSIVE coverup of the FAKE NEWS about the Syrian “gas attack” in Douma. I don’t care if leftists such as Jimmy Dore or Aaron Maté are exposing this. What matters is WHAT they are exposing. And if you watch the video, they both came down hard on the mainstream media for their FAKE NEWS.
