A big chunk of USian media serves an agenda. Recall how CBS “news” was pushing for US intervention in the Syrian civil war.
If “they” can make whoever is in charge in Syria sound threatening, that makes the country being partitioned between Turkey and Israel more palatable.
I got a chance to read your post before it was hidden. My guess would be that it violated the prohibition on politics. Plenty of NYT and WaPo articles are posted here with no issues.
