Pallywood? Doubts Raised About Possibe Staging at Hospital Death Scene; CNN Yanks Video Without Explanation
Ace of Spades HQ —
Pallywood? Doubts Raised About Possibe Staging at Hospital Death Scene; CNN Yanks Video Without Explanation I have no idea if the chest compressions formed here are fake. A doctor at LGF says they are completely fake -- far too gentle -- and that this footage of a 12 year old's death, taken by a "freelance cameraman" who just happens to be his brother, are staged for effect. CNN's pulled it now. It's quite possible they didn't pull it at all, but just put it someplace else in the course of the day and no one's yet found it again. But for the moment, it looks possible that CNN ...
Pro-Hamas Doctors Caught Faking A Civilian Death... After CNN Airs Footage
Confederate Yankee —
... earlier today for being an anti-Israeli Hamas apologist, has been positively identified as one of two doctors caught faking CPR on a Palestinian boy that "died" in video featured today on CNN. The segment with Gilbert shows him and another doctor badly faking chest compressions and other life-saving measures on a live boy faking death in what can only be described as political theater. The video claims to be filmed by the brother of a Palestinian teen that claims the boy was one of two purposefully killed by a missile fired at them by an Israeli drone as they played. ...

Little Green Footballs: Update - CNN Yanks Video
The chest compressions that were being performed at the beginning of this video were absolutely, positively fake. The large man in the white coat was NOT performing CPR on that child. He was just sort of tapping on the child’s sternum a little bit with his fingers. You can’t make blood flow like that. Furthermore, there’s no point in doing chest compressions if you’re not also ventilating the patient somehow.

... damage they do. Then, he got a phone call. Mashharawi was told the family home had been hit by a rocket. His brother, Mahmoud and his 14-year-old cousin Ahmad, had been allowed to play on the roof after days of being cooped up inside as Israel continued its assault on Gaza. Both boys died after the rocket hit. Along with the story, CNN ran an even more heartrending video of the cameraman’s footage. However, the footage seems to be fake. A medical doctor commented at the indispensable Little Green Footballs : I’m no military expert, but I am a doctor, and this video is ...
Who’s afraid of Joe the Journalist?

Soon after I filed the column, yet another example of damaged MSM credibility surfaced in the blogosphere. LGF and ...

In addition to being supportive of the terrorist organization Hamas, Gilbert has voiced support for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. What makes mad Mads appearance in this video all the more shocking is that he can't be bother to even help make this bit of theater mildly convincing by even going through the motions of giving the victim air, a complaint quickly voiced by doctors who viewed the clip .

Fraudulent CNN Video:
The Volokh Conspiracy —
The blogosphere has been abuzz about a CNN video (see below) allegedly showing Gaza physicians vainly trying to revive a dying boy, filmed by his brother (who, as it turns out, owns a company that hosts Hamas websites). Sharp-eyed viewers noticed that the doctors were clearly play-acting, and CNN pulled the video with no explanation, though the network left a ...
