Watch: Canadian Journalist Exposes Syria Regime Change Agenda Of Western Corporate Media

BySwarajya Staff

An independent Canadian journalist named Eva Bartlett, who travelled to Syria and Lebanon to interact with people affected by the ongoing conflict, exposed the agenda of the pro-establishment corporate media in the United States and Europe at a summit organised by the United Nations.

Responding to a journalist’s question, who insisted that the ‘facts’ being reported by media are ‘well documented’ and are reported by NGOs and international organisations that are ‘on the ground’ in Syria, Bartlett said there are none present on the ground. She says that the international human right groups and NGOs are depending upon information provided by compromised groups such as White Helmets, funded to the tune of $100 million by western governments and run by ex-military officials.

Talking about the agenda of the corporate media, she said it is aligned with the agenda of western governments, i.e. regime change in Syria.

About democracy, she said that the high turnout (about 74 per cent) in 2014 elections in Syria reinforced Bashar al-Assad’s legitimacy and people’s support for him. Based on her travel, she said that people of all faith and all walks of live, although they want change in government, do not see Assad as the problem.

“The Western media will accuse the Syrian government of massacres...they are both distorting the reality and ignoring the truth which is that the civilians in Syria have been suffering for years since this Western-instigated war started. Civilian deaths do occur when the army is fighting terrorists. The media ignores the context. It ignores who funded these terrorists,” she said in a recent interview with Global Research.

In the same interview, she also stated that news organisations such as the New York Times and the BBC were exposed to the reality of the situation in Syria yet absolutely refused to report what they saw unfolding.

Ever since she spoke about the western media’s agenda, Bartlett has climbed up their hit list. She, just like Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, has been maligned as a “Russian agent,” a “Syrian agent,” and as “Assad’s puppet”.
