ABC News: Slaughter in Syria & KY Knob Creek Gun Range

How could this happen?! This is a stunning, embarrassing error for one of the nation's biggest news outlets. The video aired on Sunday's "World News Tonight" AND Monday's "GMA." I'm told that ABC is investigating what went wrong... But so far, as the NYT noted, the network is declining to comment "on how the mix-up had happened."

News organizations have various systems for vetting footage to verify authenticity. Claire Wardle, executive director of First Draft, an organization that fights online disinformation, said that this sort of situation should be “relatively easy” to avoid by using tools like reverse-image search.

ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday and Sunday purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. The only problem is, the footage appears to come from a nighttime machine gun demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky.

'An ABC source said the video was difficult to verify because the person who sent it described security concerns, as well as a sensitive position along the border'.

Why is this footage being used as October 2019 Turkish assaults on Kurdish towns?

The history extends back to 1920, when the Kurds, the largest ethnic group in the world not to have a state of their own,
were promised autonomy in the Treaty of Sèvres. But the two great powers of the day, Britain and France, reneged in 1923 and
carved up the Kurdish territories into modern-day Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Kurds rebelled against this betrayal and
were crushed by their new British, French, Iranian, and Turkish colonizers. After decades of relative quiet, the Kurds tried again to achieve
autonomy in the aftermath of Iraq’s 1958 revolution, which saw the overthrow of the Hashemite monarchy.
