After being caught deceptively editing comments from former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer during a report on Monday’s Nightline, on Wednesday, ABC News was again embroiled in a fake news controversy after the network used a badly photoshopped image to promote World News Tonight anchor David Muir’s upcoming interview with President Trump.
The picture showed Trump looking out the window of the Oval Office in a pretty standard pose, however, outside that window there appeared to be a massive blizzard (Click on the image above to enlarge). The only problem? It hasn’t snowed in Washington D.C. in weeks and certainly no storm that intense has hit the area so far this winter. In fact, the weather on Wednesday was unseasonably warm – sunny and 60 degrees.
An ABC spokesperson told TVNewser: “When the marketing team created the promo, they included the wrong image by mistake. They updated it with a new photo as soon as they realized the error. We regret the mistake.

As long as nobody catches it it’s not fake news. But if they catch it then they say oops a mistake not fake news.
Even their fake news is fake!................
FAKE NEWS
FAKE SNOW !!
They were caught in the lie immediately. So they “apologized”.
Still - they got caught reporting more Fake News. They never stop.
Why even photoshop this? Can’t they just take a real photo of Trump looking out the window? They did the interview, so certainly they have some real photos of him.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
ABC is owned by Disney Corp. Don’t patronize.
What a great advertising opportunity for Adobe to pick up this screw-up and turn it into a marketing opportunity.
He doesnt need the fake news folks.
How do they “include the wrong image by mistake”? It’s a FAKED image. Someone had to make it.
Imagine if they were so lazy with the photoshop that the pictures on the table behind the desk were of Obama’s family.
BUSTED
Can’t you read? It plainly says “tomorrow”. The President can predict the weather! Who knew?
This looks like the picture which was posted yesterday. If so, they added the desk too.
New policy..
Each time a MSM outlet is caught dispensing Fake News they are moved back one row at the News Conferences.
After a certain number they are dismissed from any News Conferences.
Ya think?
They want to sublimally convey the message that it’s “Winter in America”
Trump has more important stuff to do than stare out the window.
Obama didn't.
It's a wonder how he found time for anything else.
Oh, man!
lol!
And they whine Trump’s a liar!
If only they didn’t do the very things they accuse him of.
Symbolic of Soros' paid snowflakes.
I bet that the DNC is kicking themselves for coming up with the “fake news” concept. LOL
