Danish News Station Mistakes Assassin's Creed Rendering For Syrian Skyline

Because fact-checking is for people who don't have GOOD GUT INSTINCTS, a Danish news station recently displayed a rendering of Damascus from Assassin's Creed instead of the current Damascus skyline like they intended. One of the TV channel's employees had found the image online and thought it was a photo of Damascus' skyline.
[TV2 Head of News Jacob] Nybroe says it was a terrible mistake and a "reminder to us all of the importance of verifying the sources of pictures."
