An interesting article and indeed does raise some very good points, and I note that it is based on facts and not spin. The fact that a poll has taken place and that the media coverage of the Arab League monitors is biased.
I hope you actually read the article this time.
Your spin and selective quoting is to be expected though.
You are improving though, in the sentence you chopped off, you didn't insert a full stop (like was done in the Norwegian mother article) - just deleted the comma and the rest of the sentence.
Some 55% of Syrians want Assad to stay, motivated by fear of civil war – a spectre that is not theoretical as it is for those who live outside Syria's borders.What is less good news for the Assad regime is that the poll also found that half the Syrians who accept him staying in power believe he must usher in free elections in the near future. ...
(Why did you choose to delete that part of the sentence??)
But, as with Memri, it appears you can't make your case for your beliefs with distorting quotes etc. What is baffling though is why you think people won't (like with Memri) check with the sources and discover the spin?
In this case, your failure is trying to spin a balanced article into something that is pro the Syrian regime. Fail.
What I did find interesting, so thank you for this, was this bit of information:
No reporters have followed up on a significant recent article by Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer who now writes for the American Conservative – a magazine that criticises the American military-industrial complex from a non-neocon position on the lines of Ron Paul, who came second in last week's New Hampshire Republican primary. Giraldi states that Turkey, a Nato member, has become Washington's proxy and that unmarked Nato warplanes have been arriving at Iskenderum, near the Syrian border, delivering Libyan volunteers and weapons seized from the late Muammar Gaddafi's arsenal. "French and British special forces trainers are on the ground," he writes, "assisting the Syrian rebels, while the CIA and US Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence to assist the rebel cause, enabling the fighters to avoid concentrations of Syrian soldiers …"
That IS news, and quite a concern if proved correct.
If you are true to form, you'll now either issue a one-line diagnosis or come up with a fantasy that I'm an Assad supporter
Cheers,
