counterpunch delivers another low blow to the Syria people

Given the great amount of death and destruction that has taken place
in Syria since pro-democracy protesters first took to the streets in
their millions in March 2011, more than a quarter million killed,
perhaps a million injured, and the major cities so destroyed by
artillery and aerial bombardment that half the population is homeless
and millions have fled the country, the major media has done a very
good job of hiding the carnage from us. Everyday, sometimes dozens,
sometimes hundreds, are killed across Syria from barrel-bombs,
rockets, artillery, tank fire and snipers, but rarely does it even
make the back pages, let alone the headlines. This is the Internet
age. The age of instant communications and cameras everywhere, and
what could arguably be called the first holocaust of the 21th century
is going on and the deaths aren't reported, even while regularly the
totals are jumped by another ten thousand. Even *Amy Goodman*'s /"War

massacre, spread between two shows.
