Nothing about Syria?

I saw a news report on the so called Chlorine bomb attacks on civilians, loads of people there saying they had family killed by the bomb, amazingly no injured survivors

Come on, it may be the case that not all of these sources below are reliable, but some of them certainly are. On a related chemical note, within the last 2 to 3 years Assad was keeping his foreign reserves up by being a recreational drug manufacturer and supplier, a drug not familiar with in U.S. or Europe but used in Saudi and Gulf States.

Maybe the news team should check out their sources more thoroughly.
You would expect people with scared throats and breathing difficulties in an area that had a chlorine bomb dropped on it, and maybe find some people who had injuries instead of just spewing out unsubstantiated propaganda.

I agree people embellish (big time), and news people run amok. That does not mean that there were no chemical weapons.

I didnt say there werent

My point was on the shit propaganda reporting.

They think people will just watch something and believe it, and 99% of the people will, thats why they dont bother trying,

I agree media these days is biased and generally shit with a political bias in various directions depending on which one you listen to. I especially hate written articles called ANAYSIS which pretend to be reporting but are just that writer’s biased opinion. No disagreement on any of that. And stay away from television news, it sucks and is overly melodramatic.
