    Back on topic

    I can't believe you don't see the spin. The first paragraph alone proves it.

    The article is clearly sympathetic to the story, if you don't like that, go find a more objective sounding one because i don't give a fuck.

    Oh, wait, I remember you now. You're a moron.
    as oppose to being intelligent and allowing yourself to be manipulated by an obvious agenda driven piece.

    But you're right I'm the dumb one here.


    Who's gonna start the facebook page and what color should we change our profile pics to this time?

    Confusing the article's attempt to play up the story with some conspiracy to sell this kid's death (for what? for invading syria?) world wide is some dumb ass shit.

    The agenda in this article is to show how fucked up the situation in Syria is.

    Also, the situation in Syria is really fucked up.

    I don't see the problem.

    Thing is, the spin doesn't mean a goddamn thing. Idc if the kid was running around beating the shit out of the homeless instead of giving them money. No 13 year old kid should ever be tortured like that. No fucking excuse.

    Kuya, Serious question here

    Aren't you the one that chastises people for getting the news from one american source? and here you are doing it without actually seeking out another source.

    nothing from Yahoo en espaniol?

    Is your implication that the kid wasn't nice and helpful towards poor people and that this tidbit is a manufactured lie, or are you just saying that him being nice is irrelevant?

    What the fuck are they manipulating?

    Who the fuck cares if the kid was a saint or an asshole.

    What exactly does that change in the bigger picture of the fucking airforce torturing him?

    Rhinox always assumes that the heartstring-pulling atrocities are lies to generate Western outrage, basically.

    Both. To be fair I obviously don't know the kid but the fact that its added in as an attempt to gin up emotion and spark outrage is pretty fucked up.

    Except the Airforce torturing a 13 year old is enough outrage. Who the fuck cares if the kid was nice or not.

    isn't it? How many times do Americans have to be tricked into supporting conflicts because of what the media tells them is happening?
