CBS admits to using footage from Italy in NYC coronavirus report


CBS News has admitted that alarming footage of an overflowing ward used during a report on the coronavirus crisis in Big Apple hospitals was actually shot in Italy.

CBS’ breakfast show, “This Morning,” used the footage of a packed ward last Wednesday just after saying the pandemic’s epicenter was “found right here” in New York.

The same footage had been aired earlier by Sky News — which correctly identified it as one of Europe’s “most hard-hit” hospitals located in Bergamo, Lombardy.

“It was an editing mistake,” a CBS News spokesperson told Fox News. “We took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows.”

For viewership, resort to low low.

Not a new trick

I remember Australian news using a 1998 Indon riot clip to report about Malaysia reformasi protests in KL

And the average dumb Aussie wouldn't know any better

editing mistake is an excuse used to avert blame when being found out.
