ABC News Broadcasts Fake Syria Bombing Video That's from KY Military Show

No need to confirm its real, just want to be the first ones with a BREAKING STORY! I wish MSM would be held more accountable.

What you are reading is accountability.

> “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. ABC News regrets the error,” an ABC News spokesperson told Gizmodo via email.

Have they broadcast their error on the same place they broadcast the original?

Or will they let people continue to believe the original by putting the retraction where most people won't think to find it, if they even decide to double check?

That is what I as getting at. They broadcasted it before confirming what it was. Gotta have that breaking story..

Yes, gizmodo is doing the accountability checking, but without them saying anything how long would ABC let everyone think its real?
