UN official busts David Gregory for using Israeli propaganda video: ‘That’s really unfair’

[Katashi_itto]

NBC host David Gregory was forced to issue a correction at the end of his weekly Meet the Press program on Sunday after a United Nations official confronted him for using a unconfirmed Israeli video that allegedly showed Hamas shooting rockets from a UN school.

Following an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, Gregory brought on UN Relief & Works Agency spokesperson Chris Gunness.

“The Israeli government has released videotape within the past hour, it was posted on YouTube, NBC News hasn’t independently verified,” Gregory explained to Gunness. “The Israelis say — and I realize that you cannot see this video, our audience can, and I’m going to describe it to you — that purports to show rockets being fired from a UN school.”


As the host spoke, NBC played fuzzy black and white video of rockets being fired from buildings at an unknown location.

1. The same UN that had rockets stored in their Gaza schools?

How UNconformational of them.

4. Yes, authoritarians and typical CT'ers are two sides of the same coin

Typical CT'ers believe far-fetched BS lies about the powerful and the authoritarian believe the same about the weak.

One major difference: the powerful have far more potential to do harm, unlike the powerless CT'ers in the basement that post nonsense on the internet. Authoritarians cause so much evil in this world.

Some weapons were stored in an abandoned UN building. UN officials discover them and had them removed. That's an Acorn-like smear.
