ABC News Broadcasts Fake Syria Bombing Video That's Actually From a Kentucky Military Show in 2017
GIZMODO ^ | 10/14/2019 | Matt Novak

ABC News aired a video on Sunday that host Tom Llamas said depicted a Turkish attack in northern Syria against Kurdish civilians. Turkey is indeed pushing into Syria and slaughtering Kurds along the way, but the video ABC News played last night is from a military gun demonstration in Kentucky that was published to YouTube in 2017.

“This video, right here, appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurd civilians in a Syrian border town,” Llamas said on the October 13 broadcast as the video played.

Who brought the video to them? Who altered it? Who was the fake fact checker?

It’s far worse than this, because the video was edited and cropped to remove the crowd....

If that’s so, then it was not an ‘mistake’, it was a deliberate attempt to deceive.

The ditsy anchoret in the canoe, in 6 inches of water, is one of my favorite fake newscasts.

This ABC News broadcast is obviously bad news for people who value accuracy in journalism and it’s sure to provide even more ammunition to pro-Trump supporters who insist that mainstream news outlets are deliberately trying to deceive people. Most news outlets, believe it or not, are trying to tell the truth and know that they’ll pay dearly if they lose the trust of their readers and viewers.

When the MSM put a qualifier like that in their story, then you know they don't even buy what they're pushing.

So when is Kentucky going to stop attacking Syria?

When we get unconditional surrender from the heathens.

Yeah, me too... but Anderson Cooper was so mad when Donald Jr. called him out for standing in a ditch it was hilarious! He made a 10 minute denial broadcast... yet, there he was... standing in a ditch...

There was an episode of The Odd Couple where Oscar was supposed to go to South America or something to cover a soccer game. He calls someone to get the score and writes the story.

Unfortunately there was a riot or something at the game and he got in deep trouble with his editor.

This really makes me wonder how many “FAKE” attacks, battles the main stream media has reported as real that got us into these police actions & never ending wars. Was it all fundraising for the military industrial complex?

The truth is they are LIARS making up the truth that they want to show.

They have zero concept of truth and fact. They should never be believed or trusted with anything they broadcast.

True. Problem is the 63 million of us know it, but the other idiots don’t. We just gotta hold the line and advance as much as we can.

Right out of “Wag the Dog”, The clintoons were skilled at the same thing.
I just wonder how many years they have been doing this. I understand more now as to why they want to censor the internet. I remember watching walter on the news as a kid during the vietnam coverage. How much of that was real?

And the Democrat media, overdosing on Trump hatred to the exclusion of proper coverage of the war in Syria, wonders why we do not believe anything they say or purport to show us. They are nothing but Democrat propagandists.
