Oh geez: ABC News apparently aired some video from the "Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot" as video of Syria attacks
Source video: Knob Creek Machine gun shoot. 2017, Merica (YouTube video)
I guess what bothers me most about this is that a Google news search for "abc news all out military assault kurdish civilians" is bringing up a whole bunch of "404" or "this video has been marked private" results; rather than taking responsibility and posting corrections on those search results, it's just "memory hole, this didn't exist".
I hope ABC posts a full post-mortem of how this happened.

Yeah, and responsibility: It's one thing to fuck up, it's another to then delete all internal evidence of that fuckup and not say anything about it, even when the external evidence is still around.

It seems one cost-cutting measure mainstream media has undertaken is to eliminate all fact-checking.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
