Syria: 'Reporters on the ground' versus 'amateur video'!

From MoonOfAlabama:
"...Which news agency is doing the better in reporting from Syria? Which one is most near to the action? Which one has better sources? Here is an answer.
The Associated Press reports from Beirut, Lebanon: UN Monitors Flee Syrian Protest After Gunfire
Syrian security forces opened fire Wednesday on anti-regime demonstrators surrounding the cars of a U.N. team meant to monitor a shaky cease-fire, sending the observers speeding off and protesters dashing for cover, according to activists and amateur videos.
Xinhua reports from Damascus, Syria: Head of UN observers denies coming under fire in Damascus' suburb
Head of the UN advance observer team to Syria denied that his team came under fire in one of the hotspot suburbs of Syria's capital Damascus on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters after finishing a tour in the Damascus suburb of Arbeen, Moroccan Col. Ahmed Himmiche said that his team didn't come under fire there, ...
So while Xinhua has reporters and photographers on the ground in Syria, AP's reporter used Skype to talk to some activists allegedly in Syrian and, sitting in his Beirut office, watched some Youtube clips. Obviously the AP reporting here is inadequate and thereby unreliable. One should keep that in mind when reading other AP stories."

AP does just what they had done before: producing warmongering and hate creating reports.

I guess they did not know that the Chinese are there and ask the UN team stupid questions, they of course never would ask.

Also I just heard that Syria asked for Chinese UN monitors, but still was not provided by China or the UN. So they thought they can do what they did always.

Now they must pay more attention or get better ideas. E.g. just repeating the false flag attacks. A reason investigation UN monitors should be there.

But be aware that any UN verification missions led to war and are finally just a chapter in the war mongering public opinion building dramaturgy. As in Yugoslavia, as in Iraq, as in Afghanistan, as in Libya and so in Syria.
