Syrian Propaganda on South African Television

Watch the latest HonestReporting video

The South African television show Carte Blanche broadcast an episode on the Syrian civil war. On the show, they interview a Syrian woman who blames Israel for the bloodshed.

Not surprisingly, she works for Syrian National Television and is a supporter of President Assad.

She is obviously just expressing Syrian propaganda. Yet the interviewer never challenges her ridiculous accusation.

Journalists have a responsibility to make sure that the sources they use are credible. In this case, Carte Blanche failed the case.
