At 1:52, RT presenter Gayane Chichakayan says, “It is a civil war in which the degree of hatred is so high that there are atrocities on all fronts.”

Certainly the terrorists commit routine atrocities, but where is Ms. Chichakayan’s proof that the Syrian government also commits atrocities?

It sounds to me like an attempt at "impartial reporting". The trend in today's journalism schools is not to educate would-be journalists to uncover the truth, but to (appear to) be unbiased and impartial. Not that Gayane Chichakayan was educated as a journalist. As far as I know she studied to be a film director at Moscow's VGIK.
