Is All News Coverage of the War in Syria Biased?

There is an old saying which goes some thing along the strains of 'truth is the 1st casualty of war', and I consider that it is notably relevant when it will come to the civil war that is currently unfolding with bloody consequences in Syria.

There are two major issues when it arrives to finding out the truth about what is going on in any conflict. The initial of these issues is the clear truth that warzones are exceptionally unsafe locations to be at very best. Journalist do of program go into warzones to give coverage about what is happening, but this generally indicates that they require to be embedded with a army unit so that they have some safety and so that their movements can be knowledgeable by armed forces intelligence which is not offered to non-armed forces personel. This has its own problems, because the reporter can not go exactly where they want and only see what the troops they are embedded with come about to see. But in Syria even this is not possible. الجمهورية العربية السورية are sick-organised and often linked with international terrorists, and as they are primarily a guerrilla drive instead than a typical military they have no appropriate bases and want to melt back again into the standard populace at times. So journalists are not able to really tag together with them. On the other facet the Syrian regime has banned all overseas reporting, which means not only that journalists cannot be embedded with them, but also means that there is an extra layer of threat for any journalist trying to function independently. All of this brings together to imply that it is pretty much impossible for any skilled journalist to operate inside of Syria.
