PressTV Reports from Aleppo - 31st of July, 2012

VIDEO: Aleppo, 31.7.2012, Press TV


Piece of report from Iranian Press TV. Is this staged propaganda or something ... Please judge for yourself.

It paints completely different picture than that of Al Jazeera, Al Arabia and Western media outlets.

On the other hand, Aleppo is fairly big city so this could have been taken somewhere else and then just noted as Salah-ad-Deen neighborhood.

  • Now watch what will happen when Assad's forces start to get the upper hand; We will again be bombarded with uploads showing dead woman and children supposedly executed because they supported the revolt. I'm not a supporter of Assad's regime but I hate to be taken as a fool. The west will be foolish to intervene here. Let the 'Religion of Peace' show us how they resolve their conflicts.

  • well, they choose their favourite subjects like every news station today.
    but in my opionion press tv isn't full of filthy lies like the western mainstream media.

  • seems fair enough. Several media reports say about teh same things. pockets of rebels, but it's a city of 2.5 million, so it's never going to be a city under siege

  • I wouldn't argue that it is staged.

    I would be more inclined to argue that PressTV is presenting their side of the war (partnership with Syria). Of course this means telling lies.

    Just like the FSA has told many lies and rarely releases casualty details and territroy loses.

    War is Deception.

    The first casualty of war is truth.

  • PressTV is as bad as RT. Anti-western propaganda controlled by a government and not a real news source.

  • Interesting. What will happen to hezbollah if Assad falls? Are they preparing to go and fight for Assad in Syria?

  • fail at 1:19. Showing random artillery attacks is not helpfull (from Assad-perspective).
    Nonetheless always valuble to see news from both sides.
    True is, Aleppo is huge. It has the size of Los Angeles... but less inhabitants

    • @valhalla-riot These are not random, they are coordinated with spotters on the objectives. Syrian artillery is excellent.

    • @valhalla-riot, you laugh, but every journalist that was foolish enough to be on the other side, report the same thing.

  • Lol. PressTV.

    Whenever I watch a PressTV report, I turn down the sound and just look at the video. That's all it's good for.
