Thanks WT. So this is where CNN gets its news feeds. The truth is it happens all to often, with the story being made up or staged, then foisted on the public by the reporters as the truth, unverified of course, it is known as the Pierre Salinger Syndrome. Dan Rather fell victim of his own zeal like Salinger. Remember when Pierre Salinger, put out the story about TWA Flight 800 being hit by a missle, or the time he stayed behind in Baghdad in the first Gulf war to broadcast for Saddam Hussein as his useful idiot, CNN hung on Pierre's every word as the gospel according to Luke. We've seen this in all battle zones, there are a few objective reporters that go into the field but there are the rest that are barflies hanging around the bar swapping lies then collectively reporting the " news" as if they were right there. This is what I believe happened in Qana with that so called airstrike that knocked down a building 8 hours later, the Muzzy's put the story out and the media bought it.

I'd read about this before, but this is the first footage I've seen. Not surprised.
