On Monday, ABC News got caught lying about having a video allegedly showing Turkish troops slaughtering Kurdish civilians in northern Syria, when, in fact, it was video from a gun range in Kentucky. Seemingly thinking a pair of weak apologies on Twitter were enough, the liberal broadcast network refused to correct the record and inform viewers on their journalistic malpractice during that evening’s World News Tonight.

As NewsBusters’ Kristine Marsh reported, Sunday’s World News Tonight teed up the contents of the video as being a product of President Trump’s foreign policy, declaring, “This video right here appearing to be showing Turkey’s military bombing Kurdish civilians in a Syrian border town.” A false claim repeated on Monday’s Good Morning America.

But following the due diligence of Twitter user Wojciech Pawelczyk and a Washington Examiner piece exposing ABC’s fake news, the Twitter accounts of GMA and World News Tonight issued the same copy-and-paste apology:

Their "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.
