This steep falloff in support, just five months in, is a sign of some catastrophic failings in our media and education systems.
Ahlam, located in the south of the enclave, is holding on βto testifyβ as long as she can. βEvery time I leave the tent to cover an event, do an interview or document a story, I donβt know if Iβll come back alive.β Her biggest issue, she confirms, is the lack of food and water. We are watching their situation get worse. Theyβre young but their strength is leaving them. Most are no longer physically able to get around the enclave to do their work. Their heartbreaking cries for help are now daily. For the past few days, we have only received very brief messages from them, when they have the strength to send any. Their courage, considered heroic by the rest of the world, is now their only hope of survival. We may hear about their deaths at any moment, and this is unbearable. This Sunday, Bashar wrote: βFor the first time, I feel defeated.β Later that day, he said he would thank us βfor explaining that we live day to day between death and hunger.β βI wish President Macron would help me get out of this hell.β Ahlam is still holding on. βI try to keep exercising my profession, to speak for the voiceless, to document the truth despite all the attempts to silence it. Here, resistance isnβt a choice: itβs a necessity.β Since AFP was founded in 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, some have been injured, others taken prisoner. But none of us remember witnessing colleagues die of hunger". β The outgoing Editorial Committee (SociΓ©tΓ© de Journalistes, SDJ) of the AFP

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and weβre supposed to pretend itβs perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with todayβs political mainstream media.
