Think what you will about the decision to pull US troops out of Syria to stop protecting the Kurds. Personally, I’m tired of play the world’s policeman and have no problem with the idea. Neocons like Lindsey Graham are bitter and reverting to his usual John McCain Jr. warmongering style. The news is apparently desperate for US troop deaths too. Such is the case with at least ABC who decided to show the “poor Kurds” in a video of a 2017 Kentucky Gun Range video. They claimed that the video was appearing to be showing Turkey’s military bombing Kurdish civilians in a Syrian border town. It wasn’t. Typical fake news ABC crap. No one should be surprised from the network that hosts the witch’s coven known as The View.

In the news media’s frantic desire to hype every decision made by President Trump as the literal end of the world, their rush to judgement often overlooks accurate sourcing. The latest potential fake news story comes from ABC News, who may have used a video from a Kentucky gun range, and passed it off as Syrian gunfire, in two separate stories, Sunday and Monday.
ABC’s Tom Llamas reported on the “Slaughter in Syria” on Sunday’s World News Tonight, October 13:
“Weeks since President Trump ordered U.S. forces out of that region, effectively abandoning America’s allies in the fight against ISIS,” he gushed to open the segment. In the background, rapid gunfire and explosions across a night sky were shown, as Llamas described the scene:
This video right here appearing to be showing Turkey’s military bombing Kurdish civilians in a Syrian border town. The Kurds, who fought alongside the US against ISIS, now horrific reports of atrocities committed by Turkish-backed fighters on those very allies.
