CBS News admitted to a "mistake" on Monday after airing footage of an overcrowded hospital room that was allegedly in New York City but was actually from a hospital in Italy.

"It was an editing mistake. We took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows," a CBS News spokesperson told Fox News.

Last Wednesday, "CBS This Morning" included a brief clip showing several patients and medical professionals in one room during a report about the rising threat of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City.

You’d think they would learn that the Internet insures their lies are going to be exposed.

Some of these people are the least internet-savvy people I've ever encountered. But in fact, there's an element of "get the lie out there first, deal with the rest later" that they've brought over from the print media. Doesn't work that way anymore.

An editing mistake? Why were they even in possession of footage from within an Italian hospital in relation to this news report? That right there says their intent was to use it from the outset. Editing mistake my @ss.

Everything put on tv is there on purpose, deliberately, for one or more reasons.

This was no mistake.

The Communist Broadcasting System never makes mistakes because they are perfect.

In the real world, not only are they identified by the name above, but also, as an alternative, they are known as the Communist BullShit System. Just ask any Marine veteran of I Corps in S. Vietnam. They hated Rather, Webster and Safer, as well as lesser CBS cretins. They were lucky to get out of Nam alive. I got that from those who knew.

It’s like it’s planned Liberal propaganda......

Nah, that can’t be. Just another honest mistake by the liberal media.

They then corrected their mistake by showing video footage of a Kentucky gun show!
