Yes, but thanks Fallen. I assume you watched it and heard her say how their news is real news
President Assad's forces civilian casualties are from the rebels using them as human shields, not them targeting civilians. The rebels on the other hand target civilians.
So you accept that 7:1 civilian massacres have been conducted by Assad and not the rebels? How do you rationalise that with the narrative that Assad is a necessary evil?
Can you quote where she said any of that?
The UN says that both parties to the conflict are conducting "widespread attacks" on civilians. The most recent report can be found at:

That report is overwhelmingly damning of pro-government forces. Pretty much all the massacres are attributed to Assad's forces. The rebels are accused only of some mortars and rockets being used without sufficient discretion, particularly in an attack against a Hezbollah headquarters.
If your referring to those that have taken up arms and are fighting their government in the category of civilians, then sure. But any government would attack them, even the US.

None of the reports suggest that the Syrian government is responsible for the 'overwhelming' share of violations of civilian protections. The latest report suggests that both parties have engaged in "widespread attacks" on civilians.
