Bethania Markus is a US based Journalist, she contibutes to US media outlets 

Eva Bartlett as an indepenbdant Journalist will of course contribute to any media outlet that lets her, including RT, it does not austomatically make what she says less true because it wasnt supported by US MSM 

Eva gives her views in a straight forward open way, she may of course be wrong, but so could Bethania Markus

I didn't say she was wrong.  I'm giving people information.  Simply because someone has a video on youtube does not mean they should be trusted automatically.  Also, she has declared herself as a supporter of the current regime, so she is not an independent source.

As I said in the other thread, there are several things about her presentation that bothered me, including the way she seems to accept what Russia says at face value.

What's the problem with me giving another side?

Well she has given facts. She works more closer with ideal journo ethics to me. She has backed her statements with evidence, and this does not denigrate her status by any means she is the regime supporter. She has alleged that the mercenaries are indirectly responsible for the civilian attacks where their foothold was high. Technically journos try to work and report mostly from areas where they are not under seige by the rebel militia and directly listen to the horse's mouth. ISIS is the biggest threat that is still lurking as a solid threat followed by multitude of other rebel forces across the Syrian cities like Aleppo. Agents of news correspondence are much limited in their areas. so we are reliant on compromised media.
