The Listening Post's Salah Khadr looks at the US air raid on Eastern Syria last month, and the way that story was covered. There are two conflicting narratives: Damascus says four US helicopters illegally entered Syrian airspace from Iraq and killed innocent civilians; Washington says the target was a senior al-Qaeda figure. The eyewitness accounts and amateur video footage shown on Syrian TV posed a lot of questions that remain unanswered by the Pentagon and ignored by the Western media. We look at the difficulties of differentiating between truth and propaganda.

In this week's Newsbytes: Israeli soldiers are put on trial for posting video evidence on YouTube of abusing a Palestinian civilian; the Pentagon launches TroopTube a tool for families to post messages to soldiers on the frontline; Syria backs a new TV channel aimed at Palestinians; strikes are affecting the broadcast of Indian soap operas; and the spoof edition of the New York Times with the headline 'Iraq War Ends' is exposed.

Finally, for our Video of the Week the animators at satirical website 23/6 take a dig at the latecomers who've just jumped on board the Obama bandwagon.
