Meet the Syrian Human Rights Observatory

Yup, it’s a one man show, that Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Never before in the history of journalism has a one man show got this much face time on major media.

Apparently Rami hasn’t been to Syria in at least ten years. He has no network and no fact-checkers. He just passes on stuff that somebody may or may not have made up. He has no way of knowing. We have no way of knowing either. Maybe he just makes stuff up himself.

But Rami’s Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gets major face-time on Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC and al Jazeera.
