What are these optics on the left that can pinpoint every civilian death in Iraq and Yemen while having a HUGE blind/deaf/dumb spot to what's going on in Syria? Do innocent Syrian lives not mean as much? Or are they expendable on the altar of political ideology?

I'll never forget that bizarre Meet the Press remote where his assistant tried to cut off the interview from off screen. However Condi and others were invited on shows to comment on the foreign policies of President Obama. Of course, this is nothing new, look at how the corporate media has genuflecteed in the presence of the esteemed Dr. Kissinger for decades.
