Horrible video from Syria! It is Trump’s fault! Listen his tone of voice. The indignation was almost visible in a nice shade of magenta. IT IS TRUMPS FAULT THIS PEOPLE GOT MASSACRED! ORANGE MAN BAD! ORANGE MAN WAR CRIMINAL! … and then you find out that ABC news got conned by somebody who sent them a 2017 video of Knob Creek’s night shooting.
The full article is in Gizmodo and I doubt many other media places will share the embarrassing news.
Hat Tip to Roger G.
It’s so easy to con them it soon ceases to be fun, then again, maybe not.
I’m waiting for the followup where they say “how is this allowed to happen in America” and they turn this Fake News into an attack on Knob Creek to cover their own asses.
Then immediately begin promoting the next Marvel movie featuring the destruction of entire cities.
Makes you wonder if anything we’re being told about Syria by these pathological liars is true. When Trump said the fake news media is the enemy of the American people, he was right.
As I posted today, perhaps they can watch this video every time they push for gun confiscation, and remember that gun owners are willing to do this sort of thing for FUN.
>> …and I doubt many other media places will share the embarrassing news.
I’m shocked, the NY times covered it, as in providing cover for ABC news:
‘“But I assume that on a Sunday, when they were probably stretched for staff, they failed to do the necessary verification checks, and under the pressure that comes with breaking news, this got through.”’
So I guess the NYT thinks that fake news one day a week is OK.
