ABC: “We’re incredibly sorry footage got interspliced from our documentary “Rednecks have more firepower than Kurdish rebels; why we need gun control”.
At least they didn’t need to dress anyone up as Muslims and hold up signs this time.
Classic yellow journalism.
“You provide the pictures, I’ll provide the war...”
“Appears”
Their corporate offices might as well be in P’yongyang.
Ah, the old ‘Dan Rather defense’. Remember how that turned out?
It’s an annual event, people come from all over the southeast to show off their guns or get the chance to shoot one if you’re not lucky enough to have one.

The “media” has always had an agenda, and lying to push that agenda is considered noble. The crime is getting caught.
They’ll have to dig up some old ‘Green Helmet’ showing Syrian dead babies again.
To me it seems that in the broadcast there’s way too much awareness and claimed detail than can be excused as a mistake. Somebody definitely tried to knit this into a well-developed hoax.
ABC is seemingly trying to excuse themselves as if it was thrown into their offices over some transom. I’m not buying that at all.
It’s probably the case that not every news reader was in the know, but someone with corporate decision authority purposely changed their standards to let this through. One doesn’t do that unless you’re willing to be be the source of a hoax.
Like David Gregory, he's an insult to guys named David.
Maybe James O’Keefe and project Veritas provided the video to see if ANY fact checking was going on?
Hey, they tried. Remember as nuzzlin’ joe said, they have chosen truth over fact so there is that.
Fox News or somebody needs to replay this video and inform the anti-gunners who fear people with AR-15s, that these are 50 caliber full auto machine guns owned by law abiding Americans in conformance with 2A, not a single one of these high-powered weapons has ever been used by a law abiding owner in the commission of the crime.
In other words, it is the criminals baby, not the guns they use!
IT SHOULD BE CLEAR THAT ABC IS LYING LIKE DOG $HIT ON A RAINY DAY.
The famous picture taken during the bombing of Kosovo and described as an old man looking out from behind bars of a Serbian “concentration camp” won the Pulitzer Prize that year. It was actually a man standing OUTSIDE a compound of some sort and looking in. Nothing new from the Fake News media.
AOC crying while looking at a parking lot.
Of course, but the RATS and their media allies are also pushing gun control. Since ABC got caught using a fake video in their news, it is a good lead in to explain just what that video is, and to show the immense firepower that law abiding people can be trusted with and to underscore the history that nobody ever went on a mass shooting with these legal arms. That is all I was saying.
I was a bit off topic, but it relates due to ABC using that video. Rather than just say “dirty liars used false clip” I would go on then and explain just what that clip is and how it is a bunch of law abiding people having good clean fun exercising their 2A right and UNDERSCORE the safety of it and contrast it with so called “assault rifles”. In other words, if law abiding people can be trusted with .50 cal machine guns, an AR 15 is a cake walk.
It would be a missed opportunity for Fox or One America News if they didn’t flesh out what the video is and how it defies the arguments of the gun control crowd.
I got that ABC is lying. That is pretty clear in the title and in the post.
It would be a good bet to assume any image designed to play on your emotions rather than facts is fake.
Of course using images to sway public opinion is not new, it has been going on for centuries (at least).
They are just ahead of the “Deep Fake” curve which will result in everyone losing confidence in everything that is presented by the media. In a few years what is put out by the MSM will be treated like email from Nigerian scammers.
