For a primer on Aleppa (and Syria as a whole) please listen to one of the only real journalists who is actually on the ground there. Her name is Eva Bartlett and she happens to be Canadian. This is her scolding the UN and MSM for the propaganda and lies they have spread about the situation there. For anyone interested in facts as opposed to fire from the hip narrative like "Assad has to go", please watch.
