(Paul Joseph Watson) Fake news.

CBS News is under fire for using footage of the “worst hit” hospital in Bergamo, Italy to illustrate a report about the coronavirus outbreak in New York.
The comparison clip shows a Sky News report from March 22nd in which the reporter states, “This is the main hospital in Bergamo in Lombardy province,” describing it as “the most hard hit of hospitals.”
Three days later, CBS News aired a report with a chyron that read, “America’s Epicenter – New York now accounts for more than half of U.S. cases.”
However, the footage used is identical to the hospital in Bergamo broadcast by Sky News.
When talking about the Coronavirus outbreak in New York City, @CBSNews aired footage of a hospital in Italy.
Especially in times of a crisis where people are already in a panic, the Media needs to give accurate information.
Irresponsible.

“When talking about the Coronavirus outbreak in New York City, @CBSNews aired footage of a hospital in Italy,” tweeted Benny Johnson.
“Especially in times of a crisis where people are already in a panic, the Media needs to give accurate information. Irresponsible,” he added.
Bergamo is the epicenter of the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the world where more people have died than anywhere else in the world, including China.
The city has suffered over 8,000 COVID-19 cases with a population of just 122,000 people.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
Fake news is a term referring to false news stories that are distributed by either mainstream or alternative media outlets. Like the CIA-invented term “conspiracy theorist,” fake news is also used as a pejorative by the establishment media and the Deep State to paint anyone not in agreement with officialdom as a scam artist, sensationalist, or domestic terrorist. In effect, fake news is the new Scarlet Letter, employing social ridicule and out-group manipulations to ostracize anyone with information that could be hazardous to the agenda of the Deep State. The reality is that the mainstream media is arguably the worst offender of pushing fake news stories, reference Operation Mocking Bird. The preceding information highlights fake news stories, media bias, or state-sponsored propaganda. With this information in hand, one can develop a comprehension of how information sequestration or reality management takes place, through an exposé of fake news from 2018. It should be noted that fake news is itself a form of propaganda, mind-influencing media for the purpose of satisfying some agenda. Therefore, by understanding the specific nature of any fake news item one can get a glimpse into the agenda and methods of the Deep State.

This was NOT the only instance. 16 different Countries are reporting the same Italy video being used to describe the situation at their local hospitals. This also happened in Brussels, Belgium, for instance. Talk to other people around the world and see if this same video lie was used.
