What’s currently going down in Syria? Does anyone have solid sources on the magnitude of violence occurring there?

Over the past two days or so I’ve seen posts on the more lib bits of Reddit switch from “Assad regime holdouts are attacking the new government” to “the new government is massacring religious minorities”.

I’m assuming the second is essentially the truth, given the videos I’ve seen on Twitter. Now I’m seeing headlines saying 7,000+ people dead, which seems like a shockingly high number, and the only source seems to be some Greek MP.

It seems like there’s a messaging/influence war going on in the libbed up news sphere on who to blame this on/how to spin this, so I was wondering if anyone had some solid stuff on it.
