A Short History Of The War On Syria - 2006-2014
- teamgb 13y agoConfirmed. The website sana.sy of the Syrian Arab News Agency has been 'censored' or 'purged' from Google search results. Even after clicking through 10 pages of results, not a single one links to Sana.sy. Contrast with DuckDuckGo and Bing where it's the top result. Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=syrian+arab+news+agency https://www.google.com/search?q=syrian+arab+news+agency DuckDuckGo: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=syrian+arab+news+agency https://duckduckgo.com/?q=syrian+arab+news+agency Bing: http://www.bing.com/search?q=syrian+arab+news+agency http://www.bing.com/search?q=syrian+arab+news+agency

Summary here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/17/assange_googles_just_an_arm_of_the_scary_us_government/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/17/assange_googles_just... Come to think that Google did escape anti-trust scrutiny without a scratch. Ah yes, the agencies are independent and no wink and a nod exists up there. Huh...hmmm.

- tzs 13y agoAccording to the article, Assad is a popular and beloved leader, who listened to protestors and made reforms that addressed their concerns. The Syrian people support the government, and the defections from the military to the rebels have only been a few unimportant people.
