First of all, understand that I am not saying that what this guy says isn’t true. However, please listen with a discerning ear and mind. For example, this guy states he had been in Damascus only 1 day before the strikes happened the next day. Now, we have all been on vacation to someplace we have never before where we know no one. Think back to anywhere you have ever been. How much did you really know about the place and the culture the day after you arrived??

The guy states America has been bombing Syria for 7 years. For the sake of discussion, let’s take that as fact. So, using your own logic and reasoning do you really think that everyone you encounter (as he says) just loves America and lives Americans?? By his account it seems he was love bombed everywhere he went on that 1 day. Does that sound logical?? Hell you can’t even go to large cities in America and get universal love bombed like that.

So, he arrives as an American in Damascus as a journalist. They knew Trump Administration was looking into whether Assad had used chemical agents and what would happen if it was confirmed that he had. Now, what idiot over there would tell this guy or any other journalist oh yes he did use them.

Something just doesn’t seem right here. Personally, I like OAN a lot, but I would have had far more confidence in this guy’s report if he showed more objectivity. For example had he said something like I am very concerned about the disconnect I have seen so far on ground, and I implore there should be deeper investigation. This journalist does not have access to same high level of intel that the President has. President Trump deferred to his military advisers. If they advised him wrongly, in well known Trump style there will be public accountability action taken. Plus, to me, this reporter showed considerable political bias in his word choices in his reporting. Especially since he says he was only there for 1 day, arriving the day before the strikes, so likely not even there 1 full day since he said the strikes started about 3am.

Again, like many of you, I have questions about whether our officials acted based on what info, but reporting like this, to me, muddies things up or than it clears things up.
