Remember when ABC news used footage from a GUN RANGE and said it was the conflict in Syria?

And people wonder why people call the mainstream media "fake news". Also: Since when did Democrats become the party of Endless War and complete subservience to the military industrial complex? I remember when bush was in office and the left CONSTANTLY criticized our involvement in the middle east. But now that trump is in charge being less involved is bad! Lmao "Hurr durr but its just a mistake that they made" No. Its negligence to the extreme if not a matter of them deliberately doing this and just hoping they wouldn't get caught. A chef will occasionally make mistakes but if a chef hands you a COMPLETELY UNCOOKED RAW ASS steak... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=abc+syria.footage+gun+range&t=abpbrowser&ia=web

    • Will you ever NOT be caught up in the left vs right war? Take a step back and look at the bigger picture... your “my side is right and your side is wrong” is as childish as it is tiring.

        • The media confuses a gun range in Kentucky for a war zone in Syria. And for some strange reason Beto thinks he'll take our guns....

          • Thats great and all if we werent abandoning a military ally. Anyone could have predicted the massacre of the Kurds after we deserted them. It feels, sometimes, like Trump's true goal is to break any trust we have with any foreign country.

            • Except, we are not "less involved" because the claims that these troops were being brought home is a fiction. Of the roughly 2000 troops in Syria half were reassigned to guard oil fields in the region and the other half, along w about 800 new troops from the U.S., were sent to Saudia Arabia. So not only did we not bring these troops home, but we sent 800 more to the Middle East. Turkey would never have attacked U.S. troops in Syria, because it would have been an act of war against the U.S. Further, after U.S. pulled out, and Turkey attacked the Kurds, they were forced to abandon their positions at ISIS detention facilities in order to defend themselves. This led to the escape of many ISIS members from jail. Even after all of this, Kurds still loyal enough to U.S. to provide intelligence that led to the location of al Baghdadi, the ISIS leader. Even rank and file members of the U.S. military think abandoning the Kurds, who have been among the U.S.'s most loyal allies in the region, was a complete disaster.

                  • They probably thought it was the same thing because all guns are scary and shooting at paper targets is literally the same thing as shooting real people.

                  • Keeping the roughly 120 American troops that were on the border WAS a sentiment of anti-war. The fighting in Syria was essentially done. Isis had lost all of its territory, the Syrian government had taken control which isn't great but is better than Isis. Keeping the American troops on the border was preventing Turkey from going insane on the kurds and Trump gave in over a yelling phone call. Now Turkey is attacking the people that were our front lines forces. And those troops didn't go home. They went to Saudi Arabia presumably to over see some other war crimes. But that isn't Trump's fault. Every president sucks up to those assholes.

                  • IMHO MSM has fallen prey to technology. Prior to social media MSM only had to worry about selling papers and out scooping their equally slow to publish competitors. They had more time to properly vet stories and confirm sources. With the invention of social media they now have to compete with every common joe with a cell phone dropping a story instantly on the public. This is no excuse for the blantant crap produced by MSM, and seems to have led the people recieving the bulk of their news from meme's.
