ABC News ‘slaughter in Syria’ footage appears to come from a Kentucky gun range
by Becket Adams

Are you distrustful of the coverage of what is happening now in northern Syria between the Kurds and the Turkish army? You have good reason to be.

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.

After seeing a comment from Wojciech Pawelczyk, I began making some calls. As of this writing, it appears ABC indeed aired footage recorded in the Kentucky and claimed it was from Syria. The network has since pulled the video.

"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," a network representative told the Washington Examiner. "ABC News regrets the error.”

It's just more overt media lying.

Fake... but accurate, right?

ABC News apologizes for airing fake Syria bombing footage

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/14/abc-news-apologizes-for-airing-fake-syria-bombing-/

Actually, ABC "regrets the error" -- meaning it isn't sorry for airing a fake video, but rather, it's sorry it got caught doing so.

I think that's called a "non-apology apology". They don't regret it, and it wasn't an error.

“This video, obtained by ABC News, appears to show the fury of the Turkish attack on the border town of Tal Abyad,” senior foreign correspondent Ian Pannell, who is in Syria, said Monday on Good Morning America.

I just want to know what possessed someone at ABC to show a phony video.  God knows there is enough real video out there.   If this person though it would gin up opposition to the pullout -- well, I should think by now, most people know enough and have seen enough real news to make up their own minds on this matter.  If anything, showing a phony video should take away any support for opposition to the pullout. 

And I guess this person doesn't remember when Dan Rather tried to pass off phony documents about President Bush's military service.  Do these people not think there will be someone out there who will scrutinize what the media puts out there to see if it's real or not?  Do they think we are all dumb rubes?

People inside and outside of ABC should be asking how in Hades ABC Skews obtained the video and why they failed to check its provenance before airing it. Especially since it was exposed as phony in wa-a-a-a-aaaaayyyyyyyyyy less than 24 hours, even faster than the Mapes-Blather Fraud was exposed. There should be heads rolling out the front door of wherever ABC Skews is headquartered.

Is this the same ABC News that will be conducting a "no-holds-barred" interview with Hunter Biden?
