THE MOON LANDING IS A HOAX CONFIRMED!!



I don't know about any of the moon landing(s) being faked.

 

 But I think it can be confirmed that a CNN newscast was fake.  Did you watch the video?  Why hasn't CNN covered this news about their fake news?  (is it not in their best interests?)



Here's what the Wiki says about it: 

"False Newscast Controversy

In January 2009, video[1] surfaced on YouTube of multiple takes and outtakes of a Gulf War newscast by Jaco for CNN purported to come live from Saudi Arabia. The video includes a pan of an apparent indoor studio as well as off-air talk wherein Jaco comments, "Oh, I love this country so much," while an off-camera voice adds, "...guys just don't have a clue."

Jaco threatened legal action in a letter[2] to Mike Flynn, editor of the PunchingKitty.com website, which carried the YouTube video. In his letter, Jaco responded to the YouTube video's allegations of false journalism:

First the facts of the case: our coverage was on the roof of a hotel and military facility near the intersection of the two main runways at the Dhahran Air Base, Western Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The plywood background was erected as a guard against sand and wind storms. The clowning around on the video is just that. We used black humor to deflect the tension of covering SCUD missile assaults."

  • But this whole thing could be resolved if some other news organization would just go back and take a look at some passports, etc.  I don't think CNN would go as far as to fake such a broadcast.  Jaco was pretty respected (again, I looked to Wikipedia for the reference) before this video.


Wtf Gulf war had to do with Saudi Arabia ?

it was in my home town in Kuwait the whole thing, Saudi was uneffected at all, its kinda like how now on the news when people say "i went to kuwait to fight iraqis!" or something, i find it hilarious Kuwait is a different country than iraq and is NOW not effected by the war in iraq at all.
