“How about consulting the open source record of serial hoaxes by the Syrian rebel propaganda team? First they did a replay of the old ‘incubator babies’ hoax, only this time instead of Saddam Hussein being cast in the role of baby-killing mad dictator it’s Assad. When that didn’t fly, they claimed the village of Houla had been the site of a massacre by government forces: the evidence they offered turned out to be a photo of taken in Iraq during the US invasion. They fooled the BBC – which ran it over stories about the alleged ‘massacre’ – until the photographer took umbrage at his work being misused in the service of war propaganda and angrily exposed the fraud.”
