Eva Karene Bartlett is a Canadian activist and blogger who covers the Middle East, particularly Palestine and Syria.[1] She writes op-eds for the television network RT.[2][3][4]"[5]

She is known for her advocacy in support of the Assad regime, and for promoting the falsehood that the White Helmets stage rescues and "recycle" children in its videos.[1][5][6][7]

Career

In her early blogging career, Bartlett focused on Gaza.[8][5]

Syrian Civil War

Bartlett gained controversy over a video in which she alleges that rescues by the White Helmets are hoaxes and that they "recycle" the same children in footage of staged rescues.[9][10][11][12] Bartlett's claims were found to be false by Channel 4 News and Snopes.[1][5][6][7] Bartlett's claims were amplified by Russian-controlled outlets such as RT and Sputnik News.[9] Bartlett has characterized the White Helmets as being part of a Western propaganda campaign.[13] Bartlett has said that none of the civilians that she has met in Aleppo knew of the White Helmets.[13] A 2017 report by The Syria Campaign claimed that YouTube had removed several videos of Bartlett because the videos were on “accounts linked to Russian disinformation”.[10]

An RT video where Bartlett said that the 2014 election results showed that Syrians "overwhelmingly support" Assad went viral.[13] Buzzfeed News noted that the 2014 elections were widely regarded as a "sham".[13][11]

Bartlett falsely claimed that the al-Quds Hospital bombing, where 55 died, never occurred,[14][6] saying it was rebel propaganda.[14][6]

Two 2017 reports, one by the Atlantic Council and another by The Syria Campaign NGO, on Russia's disinformation campaign in the Syrian Civil War claimed that Bartlett was part of a network seeking to discredit the White Helmets and lessen war crimes committed by the Assad regime.[9][15][10][3]

North Korea

Bartlett went on a government-sponsored trip to North Korea, and said that western media coverage of the DPRK is aimed to "garner support for yet another American-led slaughter of innocent people".[8][16]
