I don't think this is as much a mistake as it is just what all
TV/movie people do to fill the screen.
In a way it may be good that we are calling them on it but if you
think about it, you know they are rerunning the same old footage on
years worth of news stories.
How many times have we seen those same al queda training pictures?

It's one thing to use file footage, it's another to purposefully pull
footage from other events to pump up the story you're telling.

The last time they did this, the notice on screen was "earlier"
instead of the date or "file footage" which is the normal practice.

This is purposeful misrepresentation to sell a story. It's PR, not
news.


Yeah, it usually has the words "file footage" somewhere on the screen...

Or, a date.
