Those who are silent about truth are mute devils

I am going to take a page out of angry arab : he always takes an article or a news item then attacks the NY Times for either ignoring it or not covering it (for example:  oppression in Saudi,  crimes of Saleh in Yemen or Countless Israeli crimes that either get justified or get totally ignored by the paper)... Well today after the bloodiest day in resent weeks and one of the worst in 2011 (the year of the arab revolution) where at least 80 innocent civilians were killed by Syrian security forces and hundreds injured and where hundred of thousands of Syrians protested in every city and every town from Damascus to Homs to Qamishly to Deir Zour to Sueyda . Where Christians in 'assa'a neighborhood in Damascus and Druze in quaneitra and kurds in Qamishly protested. I decided to go to Al Manar site to see what they are covering and  not to my surprise they are acting exactly like the NY times does with Palestine or Arab media does to Bahrain : UTTER SILENCE.
Here is the headlines for those who are curious on their main page as of the publishing  of this post:
