Could be worse--the Chinese/Russian broadcast will run into headwinds.
Iran, Turkey, and some Arab media are saying it's a Jewish plot.
Similarly laudable--I mean, that's only fair, I guess. (?)
Wrong's wrong, and should be condemned just on the facts.

I remember when there were those who posted from RU all the time, swearing it was a "reliable" source. I am happy there are those who are fighting back and making sure actual facts are getting out into the Arabic-speaking world. Good on them!!
Of course, there are those also spreading the rumor this is a Jewish plot funded and produced by the Israelis. Again, so surprises there.
