Fakery (?), Facebook, and a BBC report on Syria


BBC Caught Staging Syria Chemical Weapons Propaganda? Former Ambassador labels video “stunning fakery” - Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars.com: "UPDATE: Within 2 hours of posting this story, the BBC filed a copyright claim with YouTube to get the 45 second clip removed. This shows how nervous the BBC is about this information coming to light. News organizations routinely rely on dubious copyright claims to censor damaging revelations. ... A video of a BBC interview with a doctor in Syria in the aftermath of a napalm-style attack appears to have been artificially dubbed to falsely make reference to the incident being a 'chemical weapons' attack, a clip that represents 'a stunning bit of fakery,' according to former UK Ambassador Craig Murray."

MESSAGE TO THIS BLOGGER FROM FACEBOOK WHEN HE TRIED TO POST THE YOUTUBE LINK TO THE VIDEO ON HIS FACEBOOK ACCOUNT: "The privacy settings for this attachment prevent you from posting it [the link to this video] to this Timeline."
