Barada TV is a London-based Syrian opposition satellite television network. Leaked U.S. diplomatic cables show that the U.S. State Department had funneled $6 million to Barada TV between 2006 and 2011 to operate the satellite channel and finance other activities inside Syria. The State Department refused to comment on this allegation.[1][2] In a NPR story in 2011, the channel was described as a low-tech outlet, which is supported by videos sent from Syrian protesters and increasingly funded by donations from Syrians.[3]
