ABC Caught Creating Fake News
ABC News aired on “ABC World News Tonight,” host Tom Llamas playing footage “appearing to show Turkey’s military bombing Kurd civilians in a Syrian border town.” The video was also broadcast on “Good Morning America.”
The problem is… the news was distorted with the inclusion of a fake video taken during a military gun demonstration in Kentucky and published to YouTube in 2017.
