CNN’s Brian Stelter is reporting on just how that video of a Kentucky gun range ended up in an ABC News story as if it happened in Syria, and to be frank, this makes the network look even worse.

ABC News “had a hard time confirming its authenticity, but decided to use it anyway”?

A source provided the errant video to a "fixer" who was working for ABC in Syria. Staffers in NYC vetted the video, had a hard time confirming its authenticity, but decided to use it anyway. "Smart people made the wrong decisions," an exec told me https://t.co/ozSLCvPqcI — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 22, 2019

No wonder they aren’t talking on the record:

One week after making an egregious error — airing "slaughter in Syria" video that actually came from a gun range in Kentucky — ABC News still hasn't explained how it happened. So I tried to reconstruct the chain of events for this story… https://t.co/ozSLCvPqcI — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 22, 2019

So, what else has ABC News used on air that they couldn’t verify?

What a damn joke:

And Stelter’s source spelled “politically motivated people” wrong:
