President Donald Trump on Monday evening hammered ABC News for airing a video that purportedly showed a recent Turkish military operation against Kurdish civilians in northern Syria, which actually appears to have been filmed at a Kentucky gun range in 2017.
ABC News anchor Tom Llamas aired the footage on Sunday, claiming that it showed “the situation rapidly spiraling out of control in northern Syria.”
After several social media users raised concerns about the video, ABC News released a statement with a correction and apology for the embarrassing mistake.

CORRECTION: We’ve taken down video that aired on “World News Tonight” Sunday and “Good Morning America” this morning that appeared to be from the Syrian border immediately after questions were raised about its accuracy. ABC News regrets the error.

They might have to fire an intern to calm things down.

A big scandal at @ABC News. They got caught using really gruesome FAKE footage of the Turks bombing in Syria. A real disgrace. Tomorrow they will ask softball questions to Sleepy Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, like why did Ukraine & China pay you millions when you knew nothing? Payoff?

It was an error? The cellphones were magically cropped out?
When is Kentucky going to be charged with war crimes against the Kurds?
Now we know. It's basic youtube stock footage.

With the high resolution of cameras and smartphone cameras I was asking myself why is all the footage of such poor quality.

Someone at ABC, who doctored the original video to crop out the spectators with cell phones, probably thought the footage would look more “real” if they lowered the quality.
ABC is Disney.
Disney, Comcast, and now ATT are totally destroying the Country.

Kurt from ny times tweeted a turkey earthquake picture from the 80s with mother and dead children and called it syria while blasting trump.
What “mistake” are they talking about?
Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia

C’mon....get it right! That is the Hoth system. Just don’t alert the rebels to our presence. :)
At least they didn’t use footage from “Sharknado”! (yet)
