Rational - it's comical how little you know about the situation. The fact is that there are no journalistic representatives of the MSM on the ground in the Syria. There is one notable independent journalist named Eva Bartlett, who happens to be Canadian. Here is her address to the UN, scolding them for their lies (along with the MSM and the British Syrian Bullcrap Observatory). If you care at all about journalistic integrity instead of dumb sweeping statements like "people on the ground are saying it was Assad", then you should watch this.
