"When a video of a boy apparently dodging sniper fire to save a young girl in Syria emerged this week, GlobalPost was among the many news organizations that decided to run it, albeit with heavy caveats.
On Friday, it emerged that it was a fake. The video, which has been watched millions of times on YouTube, was in fact filmed in Malta by a Norwegian filmmaker using a team of actors and a camera crew." And none of those who posted it in the media or on social media even bothered to apologize to readers or to post clarifications. (thanks Laure)
