Exposing Western media's Syria disinformation: The CNN Clarissa Ward scandal

After the fall of al-Assad's regime, Western media launched a smear campaign against the previous government. CNN’s Clarissa Ward gained attention with a viral report showing a supposed prisoner of the Assad regime, only for it to be revealed that the man was a Syrian intelligence officer. This incident highlights a pattern of disinformation, with staged scenes and actors used to manipulate narratives, not just in Syria but also in other regions like Palestine.
