A March 25th CBS segment on Coronavirus in New York, features some footage of treatment at an Italian hospital, some 4 thousand miles away.

“This is the main in hospital in Bergamo, in Lombardy province (Italy), it’s one of the most advanced hospitals in Europe,” a Sky News report on March 22nd states.

The exact same video was used by CBS three days later when discussing a need for ventilators in New York state.

MRCTV provides you a back-to-back look at the videos below.

“…New York could be a preview of what’s to come,” CBS says, again showing Italian hospital footage from Sky News.

The images certainly paint a visual picture, just not one of the location CBS was reporting on.

CBS certainly could have put a location graphic on the footage. That would at least seem standard…if they have any standards.

As of Monday afternoon, CBS has reportedly told the Washington Examiner that it was “an editing mistake.”
