Here’s something which made me smile, apparently uploaded from Syrian State TV.
Watch what happens to their Aleppo correspondent.
A local guy hits him with a shoe, shouting, “The Syrian TV is a liar!”
Anchorwoman (off camera): “Shadi Helwa, thank you very much.”
Anchorman (on camera): “Viewers, that was our correspondent Shadi Helwa from Aleppo. And what we’ve just seen in that clip demonstrates the ‘democracy’ which a lot of people are demanding, both those inside this country and outside it.“We go back to Shadi Helwa….. Shadi?”
[moment’s silence]
Correspondent (off camera): “This! Yes! Osama, Osama..”
Update: MEMRI has a longer clip.
