CBS News clarified a viral video it tweeted about allegedly dangerous conditions for hospital workers amid coronavirus after the nurses story quickly fell apart.
The nurse, who goes by the name Imaris on social media, claimed that she was forced to quit her job after being asked to work in a novel coronavirus unit without a face mask. The video showed a woman in tears who said that America and nurses are not being protected.
The video went viral, with CBS News being one of the publications to push the story. Even the Daily Caller, going off initial reports, produced its own video. The video has since been stripped off Facebook and YouTube.
In tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask, CBS Newss original tweet on April 5 claimed.
The network clarified Imariss story April 6 after it was discovered that the nurse had changed her story in a tweet to Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who also shared the video. CBS News did not delete the original video or issue a retraction.

CBS Newss clarification came after the Daily Callers Monday report on the nurses viral video. The network did not respond to a request for comment, but issued a clarification later Monday after the Daily Callers inquiry.
We were each assigned 1 N95 per 1 covid patients room but was not allowed to wear it outside of the room, wear our own N95 mask around the Nurses station or Halls, which I came prepared with, Imaris admitted. This was different than her original story, which claimed that nurses were not being protected.

Did CBS admit the original story was fake news? Any other revision, retraction or story modification is worthless.
Yank her license for inciting a public health panic.
From the Commie Bull Sch!@#$ network again.
Same old, same old...
From a certain French raised school boy —
“... and I was with yadda, yadda, and I saw soldiers raping and killing innocent women and children, pillaging... burning, razing villages... yadda, yadda...”
I’m glad that they fired Jussie’s girl.
Why would they hire a woman like that...
NBC - and actually they blew up Chevys.
That’s it in a nutshell.
Where you see BS!
CBS has a reputation for fabricating news stories and then broadcasting the made-up events. I am thinking of one in Vietnam, and I recall in the early sixty’s they fabricated a demonstration in the south (actually paid the kids), I think it was Mississippi.
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
Liberal media never explains a thing. They do not owe the peasants a thing.
As Benny Hill would say, “Well done.....and you will be.”
Proving once again, it about the narrative above ALL else.
The US leads the world in fake news media.
So, “trusted” news organizations base their reporting on silly-a$$ letters typed into an app by silly-a$$ airheads who have no idea about anything.
Fake tweets give fake news.
