No such "western media manufacturing consent" here. Everyone is unsure of the future. Assad is practically universally hated, Idlib was been under HTS governance, relatively moderate for the region, for the past 4 years. The past Al-Qaeda ties are frequently noted. Few bigger western voices than the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan:
"The group at the vanguard of this rebel advance, HTS, is actually a terrorist organization designated by the United States. So we have real concerns about the designs and objectives of that organization. At the same time, of course, we don’t cry over the fact that the Assad government, backed by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, are facing certain kinds of pressure. So it’s a complicated situation.”
