I forget who came up with the idea that, modern technology being what it is, news stories could be completely fabricated, including the video. However, for the sake of this discussion, we won't even go down that paranoid route.... Orson Welles' War of the Worlds--enough said.

It is never wise to accept what any one person or agency is telling you without trying to verify the information either for yourself or from other independent sources.
