FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
In a second message, one of Mr Assad’s aides reports that Mr Rosen had
“personally informed” him that Western reporters were entering Syria from
the Lebanese border and other prohibited routes.
In an earlier exchange arguing that he should be allowed to interview the
Syrian president, Mr Rosen writes: “I have succeeded in getting al-Jazeera
International to show the pro-government demonstrations in Syria and in
showing that Bashar and his government have a lot of support and also in
showing that there are definitely armed groups attacking the Syrian security
forces.”
The Syrian government has consistently justified its use of force by saying it
was facing an uprising from “terrorist groups”.
A spokesman for the Revolutionary Council in Homs, who asked not to be named
for his safety, accused Mr Rosen of “trading information about us and
journalists in Homs with the regime in exchange for privileges from Bashar
Assad’s regime.”
In an interview with the Telegraph, Mr Rosen said the only information
he shared were links to stories already available on the internet and said
that more senior Syrian security officials would have already known about
the presence of Western journalists.
“If a bunch of 25-year-old advisers to the president didn’t know that the BBC
had aired a programme on Syria I certainly don’t think that my letting them
know what was already available to the entire world was going to make a
difference, especially because the BBC journalists had already left the
country by that point,” he said.
He also denied that he had acted as a “friendly” journalist to Mr Assad,
saying he had been shot at by government troops while in Homs and that “my
journalism speaks for itself”.
Mr Rosen was granted two visas to report from Syria at a time when many other
journalists were denied entry but said “no conditions or limitations were
placed on me”.
“You deal with media people and you kiss their a— to get the access whether
it’s the Taliban, the US military or the Syrian regime,” Mr Rosen said.
