Giving proper coverage to the heartbreaking and tear-jerking scene out of Aleppo, Syria with a bloody and dusty young boy sitting in an ambulance, MSNBC/NBC’s Andrea Mitchell devoted a full segment to the matter on Thursday afternoon but of course made no mention of President Barack Obama or his administration’s inaction in Syria to dispose of the Assad regime or ISIS in the over five years since the conflict began. 

Engel explained how he and his NBC News crew were able to come into the possession of the image as well as the underground hospital that the child was treated at and appropriately described it as “a heartbreaking image, it's been an image that many people have shared, the question is will it change anything.”
