All that was asked was that you think about the situation a bit. No one attacked you. All we want is for you to approach this question logically. If Assad is the bad guy, the BBC wouldn't want to show the rebellion using deplorable tactics. It would cheapen the image of the rebels as the good guys.

This was my interpretation

Considering this was posted by Kyros, and the source appears to be Infowars, I wouldn't be doubling down on this one, Will.

And at this point, I don't think there's any doubt that the Syrian government are the baddies.

Yes, it was reported on Infowars, but I did watch with my own eyes at work on whatever morning it was, before Infowars reported on it because it hadn't been taken down at that point obviously.

--- Post Update ---

Oh? How am I "wrong"? All I said was that Kryos was wrong to instantly assume bias just because one particular video was deleted (so he claims).

The BBC don't often pull videos, but they don't often publish ones like that in the first place. You usually just get the usual rebels peering from around a street corner, offloading 25 rounds at a dustbin at the other end of the street shouting alah-akbar. And that's the extent of the dirty picture they'd paint for war.
