        I‘ve been to Syria several times, yet I sometimes learn from journalists and analysts who haven’t been there but follow the conflict.

        There is nothing to be learned from Orton though. It’s not because he hasn’t been to Syria it’s because he’s a compulsive liar and a fraud. He even got sacked for stealing other people’s work.

        You don't need to go to Syria when your talking points are already provided to you by the Turkish government 😉💡

        Would you mind crowdfunding a trip to Idlib on my part? Since you're offering, apparently.

        Set up a crowdfunding page first, and paste the link here, via DM, or via email, then we can discuss the logistical details of your endeavour to support freelance journalists traveling to their region of coverage.
