ABC [America's Been Conned] Admits To Using Fake Footage Of Kurdish 'Slaughter'
By Tyler Durden | Mon, 10/14/2019
Update: ABC News has admitted to using the fake footage and has removed it. While not apologizing, they 'regret the error.'
CORRECTION: 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.— World News Tonight (@ABCWorldNews) October 14, 2019
***This is horrible horrible ...what was ABC News thinking? If we in the media want credibility, we have to stop doing stupid things like this.. https://t.co/R2bshdTKbq— Greta Van Susteren (@greta) October 14, 2019
ABC News was just busted using two year old gun range footage while reporting on Turkey 'slaughtering' the kurds in the wake of a US withdrawal from the region.

Just a simple editing room oversight, we're sure."Questions were raised about its accuracy." You got busted peddling a fake video and deliberately using it to incite a moral panic for war. https://t.co/COh6BMauQg— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 14, 2019

The following is related to Turkey's incursion into Syria. It has always been Israel's plan to create an independent state for the Kurds called Kurdistan and is promoted heavily through official Brookings Institute policy. And as far as we can tell, the following linked news sources are not fake sh*t:
