+ At the words "they arrived to carnage," the CNN Anderson Cooper report cuts to helicopter footage of seven police officers charging across a parking lot and toward a school. It is breaking news coverage of the Sandy Hook shooting just hours earlier. The three-minute report posted on the day of the shootings at the official CNN website is entitled "Tragedy Strikes at Elementary School." But the school is almost certainly not Sandy Hook.

Wow... this is getting more bizzare every day.
So it is less believable that CNN used stock footage of a school shooting in the minutes after the violence, than CNN being involved in a breathtaking conspiracy to make Americans falsely believe that 26 children were murdered?
No, but it is believable that CNN could have received the video from an outside source
If the media and the government don’t wish to be thought of as liars, then perhaps they should stop lying.
Tell me, why should I believe any of them or anything that they say when the only thing that I have ever seen actual proof of is their lies?
Did it happen? Maybe.
Have I seen any acutal proof that it happened? No.
That can be partially written off to the urge to be first to get the story on TV. But now little of the original reporting was proven to be correct (perps name, mother's job, father's fate firearms used etc). Yet, the variations of the story do not add-up even now.
The only thing that has been clear cut is the rush to use this event in a call to ban assault weapons (whatever they are), hi capacity magazines and watching the libs angst and hand-wringing on TV
At the link provided: “It is St. Rose of Lima School, a private school a few miles away, also in Newtown.”
How did CNN get footage at one school where there was not a shooting mixed into this report only about Sandy Hook? That’s all: just a question.
What is wrong with this CNN chart? (Obama's economy) (Cnn Money ^ | 1/22/13 )
For this to be the real footage the CNN helicopter would have had to beat the local cops to the site.
Which would REALLY be suspicious.
OF COURSE they used stock footage. Jeez.
“How did CNN get footage at one school where there was not a shooting mixed into this report only about Sandy Hook? That’s all: just a question.”
Off the top of my head, I would assume that all elementary schools in the area were immediately placed on lockdown, and they got footage of one such school in the process.
For the record, I doubt there is anyone on FR with more loathing for the corrupt left-wing media than myself. But a bunch of kids were shot and killed, and speculating to the contrary simply makes one look foolish. There are a billion questions that simply have no answer if this were not the case.
The more media malpractice the more people will belive the conspiracy nuts because the media keep showing they can’t be trusted.
And people worry about the conspiracy nuts, the media empowers them by NOT doing their job in a Impartial and Competent manner.
Of course then the media cracks down on crackpots instead of cleaning up their act which then feeds the crackpots more until the average joe belives the crackpots more than the media, then revolution happens led by the “crack pots” who are more trusted.

It is most beliveable that the so called journaists over at CNN are lazy arsehats who in an effort to appear sensational use stock footage of live events to try to bolster their declining ratings....
Some kind of stock footage of cops running into St. Lima of Rose School in the late afternoon given the angle/length of their shadows on their left sides as they run South.
As a Newtown parent the "it never happened" stories really tick me off, but the journalism/reports about this story certainly are shoddy and makes me wonder what is being withheld and why.
Over Here
So CNN just happened to have a video of cops storming a school that just so happens to be 2 miles away? Doubt it. Someone gave them the video
I live a little north of there and agree. Twenty six people will slaughtered by someone identified as Adam Lanza. The manufacturing of news, as demonstrated by the CNN footage, and the complete lack of curiosity as it pertains to the alleged gunman himself and his contacts and internet footprint prior to the murders makes you wonder who is really calling the shots on this story.
Donning my tinfoil I will say that he was either helped, or goaded into it, and will go further to state that I believe that Adam's handler or "online advisor" gets a federal paycheck.
I don't believe we have been given the full story. Why are the records being seal for 90 days? Is this to give the Obama administration time to get something through Congress on gun control, before we learn the whole truth.
If you live in Newtown, can you tell us what really went on in the woods. The Newtown Bee claimed it was an off duty tactical officer from another town. This doesn’t explain why he was there in the first place or why he ran from police. To me that indicates someone who doesn't want to be identified as being at the scene.
He could have been shot. I just don't understand why he ran with armed police chasing him.
Good point.
