White Helmets fairy tale fraying rapidly

It has always been obvious to anyone capable of critical thinking that the tale of the White Helmets, those brave Syrian first responders, was as far-fetched as it was fetching. Up until very recently, however, anyone voicing their suspicions has been dismissed as an Assad-loving Putin stooge.

That's changing. Over the past week both Peter Hitchens of the Mail on Sunday and Jonathan Steele of The Guardian have joined the ranks of those disclaiming the official narrative. Neither of these writers can be accused of pro-Assad sympathies or of being Putin's stooge. So far nobody in mainstream Canadian media has had the courage to pick up the story.

Seems to me Chrystia has some 'splainin' to do.
