A lot of this boils down to who you trust for your news. Very easy to get a wide spectrum of videos as "proof" of an equivalent spectrum of beliefs and views.
Very easy to find war crimes in the middle of a war, and a little selective editing can go a long way towards defining "good guys" versus "bad guys".
Yeah that's fair. I try to make a point to get my news from both sides of the story I subscribed to Al Jazeera knowing they're a clear propaganda machine. Regardless of where I'm getting the information from, I'm performing my own contextual analysis based on what I'm reading and seeing, and it's really hard to deny the photographic and video evidence that's published and widely available on this topic.
