Danish TV station uses Assassin’s Creed screenshot in report on Syria, thinking it was photo of Damascus skyline; apologizes

Citing the “importance of verifying the sources of pictures”, a Danish news station has apologized for unintentionally using a screenshot from 2007’s Assassin’s Creed to represent the skyline of war-torn Syrian city Damascus. It’s hard to determine exactly what’s more impressive: A news station goofing up like this, or a six year old game being mistaken for reality. Good work… Ubisoft? I guess?
