Syria, Kentucky — what’s the difference? When even CNN admits that “this is a big black eye for ABC News,” you know it’s very bad. It strains credulity to think this happened by mistake. ABC, like all of the establishment media, was so avid to use the Turkish incursion into Syria to get Trump that they used what they could to make it look as brutal as possible, and hence Trump as bad as possible.
ABC, as well as CNN and the rest of them, is not a news source anymore, not by any stretch of the imagination. They’re all just propaganda outfits, not to be trusted.
What else are they lying about, when they didn’t get caught?
“Questions swirl after ABC airs video from Kentucky gun range, labeled as Syria,” by Brian Stelter, CNN, October 15, 2019:
This is a big black eye for ABC News.
“ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday and Sunday purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. The only problem is, the footage appears to come from a nighttime machine gun demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky,” the Washington Examiner’s T. Becket Adams wrote Monday.
Adams was one of the first reporters to look into this — he was tipped off by a Twitter user. ABC issued a correction on Twitter and said the news division “regrets the error.” That’s an understatement…
Meanwhile, ABC did not air a correction on Monday’s “World News Tonight.”
A spokesperson declined to comment to CNN Business.
How could this happen?!
This is a stunning, embarrassing error for one of the nation’s biggest news outlets. The video aired on Sunday’s “World News Tonight” AND Monday’s “GMA.” I’m told that ABC is investigating what went wrong… But so far, as the NYT noted, the network is declining to comment “on how the mix-up had happened.”…
