Syrian social media personality Banna al-Abed appeared on Turkish television in an interview that appeared heavily scripted. When asked about her favorite food in Istanbul, the child repeatedly responded with "save the children of Syria" before eventually answering "fish." The segment is used to illustrate how children are utilized in international political propaganda.

The hosts express skepticism, noting that Banna is "verified" on Twitter despite being in a war zone with supposedly destroyed infrastructure.
