Skins2881ABC apologizes for mistaking Kentucky gun range video for Turkish bombing of Syria
What I don't understand is why they didn't cut all the people hanging out videoing the event on their cell phone? Could have at least tried to make it believable. Or maybe they've just stopped trying?

trapper189I don't see the people and cellphones in the clips that were shown on ABC. The video in the OP is a montage of three videos: the first was shown on Good Morning America, the second was shown on World News Tonight, and the third, the one that shows the people and cellphones, is from somewhere else and was not broadcast by ABC.

sigspecopsAt this point why don't they just use scenes from war movies set in the desert? No one in their audience would know if it's real or not.

I believe they have just stopped trying. Tell the lie you want, retract it for BS reasons, nobody remembers this lie three lies later.

InfidelHere's The Babylon Bee's satirical take on the issue:
ABC News Airs Authentic Footage Of 164-Foot-Tall Godzilla Rampaging Through Syria"Here we can see the harmful effects of Trump's actions in the region," said an anchor grimly. "May God have mercy on us all."
I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.
