When the vehicles of your propaganda abandon you, the position of power you hold is tenuous indeed.

Syrian Radio and TV Host Ola Abbas Defects to Join Rebellion - SPIEGEL ONLINE:
'via Blog this'
In the last few weeks we've seen generals, politicians, and now journalists flee Syria due to the atrocities committed by "President" Assad. We've also seen the most powerful countries on Earth take sides. The Iranians tried to hide their support for the Assad regime. The Russians are more honest about their stance.
This latest defection will hardly be the final straw that brings down Assad. In truth, I doubt the audience was listening anymore. Damascus, is a war zone. They don't need to watch the news or listen to radio hear the gun battles raging in the streets. Those who can leave are doing so. Unfortunately for Assad, most of them are his supporters.
