The haunting picture of the boy, later identified as 5-year-old Omran Daqneesh, of Aleppo, made international news. The plight of Omran, who fortunately did not suffer a brain injury, was important and noteworthy. But any full context of the civil war should have also mentioned the U.S. role in prolonging it. In contrast, noted NewsBusters, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr included unflinching critiques of the Obama administration in portraying the young boy’s image. Fox News Channel also gave fair and balanced coverage to the plight of Omran, and the devastating war that has ravaged the nation.
