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 is checking into the story -- checking they should have done before running it in the first place.
Thanks to CJ.
