As many celebrated the Syrian rebels' extraordinary victory in breaking
the siege of Aleppo last week, thus averting the potential starvation of
hundreds of thousands, one person who won't be so enthusiastic is The
Independent's Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk. As he stated in an
article published on 4 August, during the height of the rebel
counter-offensive against pro-Assad forces, "there are no good guys
among the Syrian warlords".
Fisk is, of course, one of the most experienced Middle East
correspondents in the West, with a career in the region spanning back as
far as the and the Iranian revolution and the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan. Fisk is widely respected in his journalistic field and is
regarded as a safe source for many people across the political spectrum
when it comes for Middle Eastern affairs. It's for this reason that one
can only lament the fact that Fisk has, since the beginning of the
Syrian revolution, become more of a peddler of propaganda than a serious
journalist.
