Well, we will have to agree to disagree.
The
story, the
news was about and in reference to the Kurds being attacked by Turkey as I recall. Since I do not rely on footage, but instead the reading of the facts,
for me, the story was 100% accurate and reported well by the NY Time and all other media.
Someone made an error in that video, obviously but it did not detract from the story itself which was true and factual and that, I think, was the point of the thread.
Not defending anyone here.....I understand from reading that at least one head as rolled and more to come. An admission of the mistake and apology made (more than many ever do)...but again, it did not detract from the story.
Television can be very misleading as I said.
