CBS News is on the defensive today after airing footage of a chaotic scene at an Italian hospital while alleging the video came from New York City. (Fox News)
“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.
During a Pandemic it is essential that the Media gives us real and accurate information.
It’s completely irresponsible for @CBSNews to use footage from an Italian Hospital when talking about the outbreak in New York City.

“This is the main hospital in Bergamo, in Lombardy province. It’s one of the most advanced hospitals in Europe,” Sky News reported.
With Europe’s oldest population, COVID-19 has hit Italy particularly hard. The mortality rate of confirmed cases is over 8.5 percent.
The White House coronavirus task force is projecting between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths in the United States from the virus. Last night, President Trump warned of a “painful” two weeks ahead.
However, the models used by the White House estimated that without temporary lockdowns, the death toll in the U.S. would ultimately be between 1.5 to 2.2 million.

Do You Approve of Trump’s COVID-19 Response? [TAKE THE SURVEY]
CBS should use the letters POS ( Piece of Sh*t )
News agency. They knew what they were doing, & the feeble excuse is a bunch of BS.
Don’t they have anybody checking this stuff before putting it out to the public.
c–bs pronounced as see bs.
It’s called communist propaganda, they don’t check because they know it’s all lies. We have a media that is working with the communist democrat party, they’re not trying to hide it, they don’t care anymore this has been the plan from Joe McCarthy days when we refused to listen.
Maybe CBS actually means “Can’t Believe Story”?
This crises is the chance for loads of crap to seize the monument to get another lying sack of shit like Obama to take over and destroy the republic once and for all. A load of shit propaganda media can once again cover up their lies, sneaky deeds, and @cts of treason. All the American people are stupid only the loads of crap lying to us 24/7 are smart. The democrats want us to die and suffer so they can get another loads of shit like Obama back in office to continue to destroy our republic as he did. Climate change bullshit, the real goal is no country, no sovereignty, membership in the new world order. The unelected loads of crap at the UN can take over.
And they can’t understand why they’re branded FAKE NEWS ?
The “Communist Broadcasting Syndicate” strikes again.
NBC and CNN only report for the lying Democrats, what are they doing in the crisis?
Only gripping and witch hunts they can’t prove. Get a grip Democrats and help America.
CBS – Consistently Bull Sh*t
Take fucking news CBS, NBC, CNN ABC, NY Times, Washington Post and so on….disgusting pathetic pieces of shit!

To CBS the truth is not a story.
The motto of the Democrats is “Never let a crisis go to waste and if there isn’t one, make one.”
It’s like we are in grade school. The dumbest kid in the class is in charge. The cute girl that picks her nose is his biggest supporter. We need to stop this insanity. Allow President Trump to do his work. We have wasted 4 more years almost. Obama wasted 8 more. Life is short people. Time to live it and enjoy our great country. Get back our family values. People that have been destroying our country and committed treason need to pay. Take care of our country.
CBS is our enemy. They lie. They deceive. They twist the truth in order to get THEIR goals.
When anarchy comes, remember who they are.
CBS Communist Broadcasting Network
SHOW ME ANY NEWS MEDIA PAGE AND YOU HAVE THE WHOLE IDEA OF WHAT THE MEDIA IS UP TO INCLUDING FOX NEWS AS WELL THEY EVEN FIRED A COUPLE OF THEIR BEST OBJECTIVE PEOPLEONE OF WHICH IS TRISH REAGON . SHE TOLD THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

Every time they get a chance. They lie;. They deceive. They are NOT as news agency but are a branch of the elite ONE WORLD ORDER, whose goals it is to deceive and eventually give control of the world to the rich elite. That would include Rick Perry and Mnuchin. Anc Cho and Blookberg. And Schumer and Pelosi. God help us.
