    Now that the LWingers have all committed to claiming the ABC video as a "mistake" let's look at the original footage.
    Two points:
    First, ABC NEWS CROPPED OUT THE CROWD, and second, they lowered the resolution in an attempt to make it appear that it was filmed in the field. Oh, and an ABC "journalist" in Syria "authenticated" the video.

    IT WAS NO MISTAKE.

    They could have used Pearl Harbor also if they wanted their viewers to understand what an attack looks like.

    They must know their audience if they feel that accuracy isn't important.

    So what if the news is inaccurate? We all make mistakes! ))) Lefties defending fake news is what really makes this thread so interesting.

    They ducked up. If you’re saying it was intentional, then I have to ask for what purpose?

    The Big Lie, as a political strategy, is not very effective anymore. Trump would not be in the White House if it still worked.

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

    Obvious the Kurds weren't returning fire.

    If they were, you would have seen green tracers rounds.

    The Kurdish PKK are armed with AK-47's.

    AK-47 and other Soviet/Russian firearms use green tracers.

    Unless things have changed, American and NATO rounds have red tracers.

    I saw neither in the video which would be a dead giveaway.

    Just another example of liberal fake news.

    The same reason Shifty makes up things and calls it "parody" - to spread misinformation.

    So the media wants us to think the Kurds are under attack but they aren’t? Is that your contention?

    It could have been an experiment to see if Americans are as dumb as ABC thinks they are, and to see if anybody would catch them, that is, to get a feel for how much they can get away with.

    Since 90% of the MSM are liberals, are low information and have a liberal bias, I'm going with being low information when it comes to weapons and war.

    Even Fox News Channel has called an Arleigh Burke destroyer a battleship and called an A-10 Warthog a fighter jet.

    Journalism is dead today and war correspondent are not and have a political agenda besides being low information.

    It was a low information sloppy mistake.
