DOES anyone ever question WHY some western MSM journalists seem to always appear at Russian propaganda events invited and cleared by the Russians and Assad to report the Assad/Putin version of events BUT NEVER seem to make it to the rebel side of the Syrian war?
SO just how much do they get for their reporting efforts and what kind of hotels and free flight did they get??????
THIS particular journalist has never reported from the rebel side BUT a lot from the Assad side.....

Mortar lands right where buses were parked - buses had moved though due to gunfire
Buses ready to 'evacuate' civilians from east - so far no one has crossed. A rebel mortar just landed 50 ft from us. No injuries thank God.
Syrian APC broadcasts message telling people in east they will ensure their safe passage. So far no one has crossed
Bakery we filmed yesterday totally destroyed at crossing point Bustan al Qasr - rebel rockets lying nearby

IF one takes the time to really go through this particular twitter feed from the journalist....when he talks about the rebel mortar rounds HE truly failed in the same breath to talk and the Assad Shia/Hezbollah ground attacks over the last week through this exact area....
FAIR AND BALANCED...seriously doubt it...fair and balanced is determined by who is paying these days NOT by the "truth".....
ITV has been called out a number of times for be a paid proAssad mouthpiece in certain articles.....
EXAMPLE....there are countless smuggle routes into eastern Aleppo..WHY did this journalist not take the risk upon himself and see and experience at first hand the sheer Russian bombing destruction just 500 meters away from where he was standing...THAT he did not but he can talk about a "rebel mortar round landing nearby"....
That would be true "combat journalism" not "invited tourist journalism".....
