News Report Uses Assassin’s Creed Screenshot For Syrian Civil War

Read the review in full on http://techzwn.com/ 



Sometimes there are things which just want to make you bang your head against the nearest surface. This is one of them.
The head of Danish television channel TV2, Jacob Nybroe, was forced to issue an apology last Sunday for using a video game image to represent the Syrian conflict.
In their news report on the 26th of February last month a screenshot of the Damascus skyline from the originalAssassin’s Creed was used as a backdrop for their presenter when commenting upon the ongoing conflict. None of the reporters involved had realised their mistake until long after the report was broadcast and the damage had been done. The image itself had been taken from a YouTube video by one of the studio’s employees after mistaking it for the real thing.
