CNN Fake Gulf War Newscast

Charles Jaco was the CNN reporter famous for covering the 1990 Persian Gulf War.

The first part of this video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian "hotel" in the background were fake palm trees and a blue wall in a studio. This clip was leaked by CNN staff.

The second part of this video was a live CNN satellite feed recorded onto VHS showing the final cut. Charles Jaco was wearing a different jacket, but he had the same act. The acting was terrible as Charles Jaco wore a gas mask, and his fellow correspondent Carl Rochelle wore a helmet. The sirens and missile sound effects are part of the stage set. The camera never pans out or shows the sky. [/yt]

Really? If this footage was aired as 'live' back during the first gulf war there should be jail time handed out.

I dunno how fake this is at 2:18 clearly you can hear the street broadcast and he is asking if it is all clear. Also he does make jokes about "this country".

Check out 1:31... It definitely isn't a blue screen. It is either an entire set, or probably the roof of a hotel or parking garage. Look at the little ladder thing behind the director and you can clearly the the hotel windows. Also, 1:31 appears to be a nighttime shoot, whereas the broadcast TV footage appears to be a daytime, hence more detail from the building.

At 1:36 you can see a motherfucking satellite dish. Why would you have that inside a studio.
At 1:37 the white object int he background appears to be a large heat exchanger / air conditioning unit. (maybe a dumpster)

I think this was on location in Riyahd, the plants don't even look fake to me.

What about the poor acting? ;}

Check out 1:13 - two different/distinct shades of blue.

- You can hear the fan blowing the leaves of the fake trees

- The trees in the background only blow around right before his reporting, or during the reporting. During the bloopers they are more-or-less still.

- 4:05 "We can't show you anything else than what you're seeing right now, because of military regulations"

Yeah, okay buddy.

I could go on, but I'll just post a bit from the video description:

EndAll you are just wrong. I don't know if you understand how science works, but wind is a gradient of temperature. Nighttime when the "bloopers" segment may not be windy in Saudi-land. During the morning when the live CNN feed was being shown, there is more light, it is sunlight instead of floodlamps.

The backdrop is NOT a bluescreen, there is not video effects. You are saying they built an entire set of a wall of a hotel with multiple windows, a few plams, some bushs and some pine tree looking thing.

Dude, they pan out to show the entire wall behind them with the JVC TV. I saw no "wind generating fan".

Yeah yeah. I only had to see that guy's horrible job of acting to tell that this was bogus. Making jokes between takes in a supposed area of conflict. I don't need to know how science works to tell that this is bullshit. That background looks so flat and uniform in colour! I can't deny what my eyes see, sir. I'll agree to disagree.

The effects sound faked, there is a blue-screen behind them, his terrible acting along suggest total bullshit. I do think they were in Saudi Arabia, but their environment was hardly a war zone. They were probably in a hotel room or something similar.
