ABC News issued a full-throated apology this week after airing footage from a Kentucky gun range that the network claimed was a Turkish attack on northern Syria.
“ABC issued a correction and apology Monday for reportedly using video from a Kentucky gun range while falsely claiming it depicted a fierce battle between Syrian Kurds and Turkish forces,” reports Fox News.
ABC ‘slaughter in Syria’ footage is actually from a military show in Kentucky – this video is side-by-side footage of what ABC showed and the military show.
“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,” posted ABC’s World News Tonight.

The actual footage is reportedly from ‘Knob Creek Night Shoot 2017,’ an event at a Kentucky Gun Range where live ammunition is fired after dark.
