As usual CBS calls this a mistake but we know they were trying to make our healthcare system look bad.


CBS News admitted to a "mistake" on Monday after airing footage of an overcrowded hospital room that was allegedly in New York City but was actually from a hospital in Italy.

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

Last Wednesday, "CBS This Morning" included a brief clip showing several patients and medical professionals in one room during a report about the rising threat of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City.

However, that same footage aired days prior on Sky News.

@Sabertooth Maybe some lawyer for CBS will again use the same or similar lawyered, ingenious phrase that was used to try to excuse a central figure of the CBS / Rathergate / Mary Mapes events:

"the hypothesis that someone may have reconstructed documents that they believed existed" (source: Wikipedia).

Prepare for the hypothesis that the footage was believed to have existed as a reproduction of a genuine, previous footage option...
