None of the Arab uprisings have lasted as long as the one in Syria, and as the battle for the country rages on, the story gets harder to follow. Outside the country, news organisations no longer talk about a united opposition force but a factionalised one with different ideologies, agendas, foreign fighters and radical elements.
But pan-Arab stations like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya have come under scrutiny, with many of those tuning in saying that that kind of nuance is missing from their coverage. That has led critics to say these outlets are merely reflecting their own countries’ foreign policies.
