Fisk is a British journo, with an undeserved reputation for "fairness" and "professionalism", whatever that is. It is certainly not objectivity, an elusive and mythological construct to begin with.

In reality he is and remains very much part of the West's disinformaiton brigade trying to undermine and topple Syria's legitimate government, the "regime", the prefered word that Fisk and his ilk continually use to deligitimate Syria's president Assad.

This piece does not belomg on ICH, it is dishonest, and it goes a long way to show that even among alternative sites, the old rule, CAVEAT EMPTOR must be observed.
