22 July 2012, Syria’s Information Ministry claims that U.S., European, Arab and Israeli agencies are cloning Syrian TV stations, for the purpose of presenting false news reports.

Syrian officials say already one TV station has been cloned, right down to the TV station’s logo and patriotic music.

The Arab League has repeatedly asked Arab satellite TV service providers to stop airing Syrian programs.  The Arab League managed to cut off Libyan TV shortly before U.S./European backed rebels murdered Gaddafi.
