I really need to change my homepage after installing Windows 8.1 to test for work but oh well. Saw this on the site and since it deals with Media and MSN's lack of understanding on it until now, here you go. It only took you 2.5 years MSN! Good job!

If you don't want to read it, here's a snippet:

"The videos have also made more difficult the task of navigating between truth and propaganda — with all sides using them to promote their cause. Assad opponents post the majority of videos, and nearly every rebel-held area or brigade has a media office that produces and disseminates them. To a lesser degree, regime supporters produce some videos — but they also pick apart opposition videos, trying to show they are fake."
