Are you distrustful of the coverage of what is happening now in northern Syria between the Kurds and the Turkish army? You have good reason to be.
ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday morning purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. The only problem is the footage appears to come from a nighttime demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky.

ABC’s Tony Llamas is a pompous, mindless twit. Trying desperately to be the next David Muir who tried desperately to be the next Diane Sawyer who …...

The squirrels could have organized a counter attack if they had fully automatic weapons. They refused Quid Pro Joe's offer of foreign aid contingent on his crack addict son being put in charge of the Nuts Stash.

Wow... yellow journalism! It's not unlike the news footage of "Polish soldiers" attack German border towns ... precipitating the invasion of Poland by Germany and the start of WW2.

Reminds me of the fake story about the exploding pick-up trucks. The one where NBC attached explosives to the gas tanks and then ran a car into the truck to make it explode. This was for an investigative story on Dateline to show how dangerous the trucks were.
And wasn't there another fake story about fish dying because of pollution in some lake or river but it turned out the fish died because the fish department poisoned them to get rid of an invading species. I can't remember the particulars, maybe someone else here can.

Am I the only one deeply concerned about the Turks and Kurds fighting in Kentucky, of all places? I just hope Mitch and Rand are okay!

Every News channel, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN are beyond biased. FNC, is sliding to the left. I hope Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham remain honest.

Deliberate misrepresentation is fraud and should be a criminal matter. The First Amendment should not protect knowing lies.

The Left knows that such a large part of the American public is gullible (after all, those people are the ones that voted in Democrats) that they think they can make anybody believe anything. We can only hope that at least 51% of American voters are not stupid.

As well attended as that machine gun shoot is, they really thought they would get away with their lies? And then they just scurry off like the cockroaches they are when the light of truth get turned on.

Those Kentuckians are probably also much better shots than the Turks.

Walt Disney is spinning in is grave.
Mickey is ashamed of yet another "Mickey Mouse Operation".
In all 4 of those video examples there are audience members with using cell one to record this "fire fight" (not bombings). the video screens are clearly visible.

@6 I don't remember the particulars except that AlGore was paddling in a canoe supposedly on a river and come to find out he was paddling in knee deep water. Don't remember what the issue was, but he was in the big middle of it.

LMBO, did you see the hundreds watching the show a hundred or so feet away in the foreground? I wouldn't expect any else from ABC.

And the Turks set up tents before they opened fire. Keep the troops dry and warm I say.
