ABC News Airs U.S. Gun Range Video, Calling It a Syrian War Zone — Twice

Like the Democrats, the media establishment will stop at nothing to destroy President Trump. How could any objective or rational person say that the mainstream media in the United States is not evil and corrupt?

ABC News Airs U.S. Gun Range Video, Calling It a Syrian War Zone — Twice

ABC News on Monday removed a video which the network presented as Turkish military forces attacking Kurdish fighters in northern Syria — amid reports that the footage may, in fact, be from a U.S. gun demonstration.

By Breitbart News, October 14, 2019:

The footage, which ABC News purported was of an attack on the border town of Tal Abyad, was aired Sunday on World News Tonight and Good Morning America on Monday morning. However, a comparison by Gizmodo shows the video was captured at Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky back in 2017.

“[I]t’s clear that the videos are the same,” said the website.

On Sunday, ABC News anchor Tom Llamas aired some of the footage, reporting that it showed “the situation rapidly spiraling out of control in northern Syria.”

“One week since President Trump ordered U.S. forces out of that region, effectively abandoning America’s allies in the fight against [ISIS],” Llamas framed the purported scoop.

“This video right here appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurd civilians in a Syrian border town,”  he went on. “The Kurds, who fought alongside the U.S. against ISIS. Now, horrific reports of atrocities committed by Turkish-backed fighters on those very allies.”

ABC News has since released a statement in which it issued a correction and apology for the error.

“[W]e’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,” a press representative for the network said.

Fake news, fake apology. Someone did “research” for the report and found that video to use, and knew what it really was.

Here’s the REAL Syria story, minute by minute:
https://syria.liveuamap.com/
– this is becoming a tough fight, with Erdogan pushing very hard
– Syria has stepped up to defend the Kurds, but it is too weak to stop the onslaught
– USA and UK evacuating quickly
– Russia is considering helping Assad’s Syrian army
– but then Russia would attack Turkey, a NATO member…

As long as Russia didn’t cross into Turkey but only attacked the invading Turk inside Syrian territory I can’t see how NATO would have any problem with that. Certainly real Americans wouldn’t. Of course the Devorats would lose what is left of their minds trying to hold their anti war and pro war stances in what is left of their brains at the same time.

Trevor: Maybe you are right. In concept, NATO only protects member countries that are attacked. They get no help if they do the attacking. However, in real wars, these ideas get very fuzzy, and simply driving Turkey back to their borders won’t work. Battle lines must be fluid, to accomplish modern maneuver warfare.

Also, NATO will kick Turkey out for starting a useless war of agression.

Yes, and letting Erdogan put his foot in it was a good move by Trump. Turkey lacks the military power to win this unless they call up the whole military, and even then, Erdogan is in trouble. Russia or Europe will probably step up, and then Erdogan will lose his NATO connection. Also, Turkey is a serious enemy of Israel, and they will benefit as Erdogan weakens.

World democracy benefits by Trump doing nothing.

No it’s not, Serbian Christians were being slaughtered and ethnically cleansed by f’ing muslums (and some of those muslums were harvesting organs from captured Christians). Then NATO stepped in and acted as Janissaries for the muslum vermin by bombing Serbian Christians thus facilitating the take-over of Kosovo by f’ing muslums.

I was referring to Serbia before World War One, not Clinton’s wars. You accused me of “underestimating” muslims in the earlier thread, but you clearly have a problem with reading comprehension.

Yes, but NATO members can get no help if they start a stupid war of aggression. NATO is only for legitimate self-defense. So Erdogan is gambling, big time.

Yawn, who cares? It’s one group of f’ing muslums vs another group of f’ing muslums and allah of them are fascists. Morally it’s like picking the SA over the SS.

Clinton’s bombing of Serbian Christians for his muslum masters should’ve been a war crime.

Yeah and eliminating Al Qaida has really made the world safe for democracy hasn’t it? Has muslum terrorism stopped since Al Qaida was “stopped”?

Any country not liking us leaving Syria, can send their own army in and take over. We are not responsible for paying for never-ending war.

ABC News regrets the error,” a press representative for the network said.

No, they “regret” being called out on it and getting caught.

thank God for the internet. the deep state media can no longer get away with their BS, like telling us in 1963 that a bullet fired from behind by some lacky named oswald caused jfk’s head to snap backward and to have the top half of his skull blow off and land on the lid of the trunk behind him where a crazed jackie crawled back to so that she could try to put it back on him. they never counted on abraham zapruder filming their work

These ‘errors’ are deliberate. The MSM pick any video to support their propaganda, not caring whether the clip is factual or not. They know full well it is fake news. Then when the propaganda item has been widely disseminated and served its purpose, they apologise for the ‘mistake’ and withdraw it…
