It's happened again.
After the BBC confused the Halo logo for the UN's and ITV used footage of ArmA 2 instead of stock war footage, it seems as if Danish news channel TV2 is the latest broadcast to confuse video games with reality.
To illustrate a story discussing conflict in present-day Syria, TV2 used an image from Assassin's Creed depicting Damascus 720 years ago.
The head of news for TV2, Jacob Nybroe, confirmed the origin of the picture used behind news anchor Cecilie Beck on February, 26, was indeed from the popular action game. The image was sourced by one of the show's researchers who confused it for a photograph of Damascus's skyline.
Thanks, Times of Israel (via VG24/7).
