Talking about "fake news"...

I haven't seen much from the Western media about Aleppo recently. For months we were bombarded with articles about the 250,000 civilians trapped in E Aleppo who were going to be slaughtered when Assad's forces overtook the area. Instead we are finding out from independent journalists on the ground (Eva Bartlett, Canadian; Vanessa Beeley, Brit) that over 80 Syrian soldiers held prisoner by the "moderate" rebels were executed before they left the city, and interviews with the many residents who managed to escape to the Syrian side universally showed that these rebels were ISIS in everything but name, with cruel sharia courts exacting punishment for everything from smoking cigarettes to cutting off hands for stealing and execution if one sympathized with the Syrian army. 
And the West was supporting these terrorists with arms and money.

Where are the articles in the G&M investigating this? In fact, why are there no MSM journalists on the ground there?
