Bolivian Press Gets Clowned -- What Did They Do Wrong?

[IcarusTouma]

*Sigh* Bolivians....

[mimana2]

She and the reporters that presented the false news got fired right after the program. PAT got embarrassed beyond reality.

[vsgirly86]

"Poor Bolivians"... lol these people are a joke. So we don't spend time watching lost- and we made a mistake. Hmm.. perhaps we don't spend time watching Lost because we are too busy enjoying the outside, nature and our abundance of natural resources that haven't been destroyed. Not like the guy in the yellow who obviously if suffering from the "Obese Epidemic" over here.

[saultube44]

The idiot in yellow shirt always think he knows everthing, he never fails he quickly realize everything, and so on the bullshit I always hear from him...

Yeah, people got confused and shit happens, learn to live with it and stop the stupid and useless drama, oh sorry, you need it so you have something to put on air, since you suck at delivering real news, bunch of morons.

[guillermop85]

Hahahaha that's an EpicFail!

[VVD]

Even if they didnt know it was from Lost, do they really think that Air France had all those different close-ups and camera angles, as well as audio?

[Serpico261]

god damn i love when such things happens!!

[dimoschka]

people in bolivia do watch lost, but 45 year old news anchors dont, so that was the problem :S

[Lekeeon]

LMAO

[Pitumisio]

now check this TV station's last clownage: a murderer's identikit (check here on youtube "Retrato Hablado Asesino Taxista")

[LJKBIGMAC]

bolivian news is so idiotic! of course its from lost!!!!

[oalemdemadrid]

So looks like Bolivia has their own version of Fox news.

lol I rock.

[mickdornfad]

Lost

I recognised it immediately

I think I've seen the scene a gazillion times

[unknown2022]

lol that is so hilarious

[miguelango]

That reporter was running for Vice President of the country! hahah

[r2itos]

4The Shadow over Erris: Shell, IRMS and Bolivia

There were international mercenaries in bolivia with help of the american ambassador GOLBERG wanted the Balkanisation' in bolivia

THE SAME MEDIA DEFENTED THESE MERCENARIES AS SAINTS. AND ARTISTS, TOURISTS

[matereymate]

either they knew it was a hoax and just juiced it for all they could

or they totally got 'owned' and showed what clowns they are (the bolivian station)

[r2itos]

TheYoungTurks thanks alot for covering the clowneiness of the bolivian press. in april 17 the Bolivian anti-terrorist unit had been involved in a gunfight with a far-right group of international mercenaries; with support of the american Ambassador Goldberg whom they wanted a kosovo effect in Bolivia; the bolivian media till now are saying they are presunted terrorists even though the leader left a video with his intentions in bolivia, andhad been pictured with guns and tnt.

[versanil]

What?

[finchfonch]

agree with cenk. lost is too awesome of a show for some1 to no watch

[orientrat]

The sky was perfectly clear, and the AirFrance plane went down in a storm...

[Gaaraoftheoasis]

Epic Fail.

[ravenkrofft]

funny! but this guy is a douche bag

[chefawkes]

why?

[versanil]

You're a douche, Cenk is a legend.

[Danny77uk]

Fucking hilarious.

[wtfisditvoorbullshit]

How could the producers ever fall for this, they must be really stupid. No news station in the world had those pictures, that should've ring any bells, right. I mean, what makes them think they are so great at collection information that they are the first ones to gain those pictures.

[smashsamus]

" I think I'm just gonna fade into bolivia or something" "...so you're going to South America, Mike?" "...ye, yeah I don't know maann!"

[WanderHack]

"poor bolivians"? that dude shudnt stereotype, he doesnt know shit about bolivia.

[14mm2]

ever been to la paz?

bolivians are quite poor...

[80smoviesguy]

he meant it like, "poor girl, she dropped her cotton candy." not financially.

[ukraineintherain]

he wasn't referring to their wealth, he was referring to their misfortune.

i.e. "Those poor people who were in that accident"

[scaglietti03]

ok first of all he didnt mean it that way, what he meant is that this particular news network confused "lost" footage with the air france accident, and for that reason they are going to get a lot of crap from everiwhere, thats why he said that.

and second the way have you being in bolivia lately? i asume you havent because if you had you would realise how poor they are

[WanderHack]

i know what he wass reffering to but we r not stupid like the people who works in bolivian television, have u ever even been in bolivia? and yes i have been in santa cruz, and is not really poor like u say.

[sadie0087777]

lmao..I am peruvian american so I can say this... But CNN latino or any South american media are so useless. Their coverage is so stupid.. Just look at their coverage of the Iran protests...If there were any.

[dardonZ]

Lmao

[JaggerBacardi]

I know Spanish... and I will tell everyone that doesn't understand what she is saying... she is narrating this like its an epic drama and as if the facts were 100% accurate. Like she keeps on saying they got it from this camera, the camera was destroyed but they saved the memory. The camera was traces to this guy, then she repeats the info like its "breaking news"... rofl good job on checking out your sources hahaha XD

[JahobesDaGreatest]

thanks buddy!

[MulcheArcade]

thanks for the translation it is much appreciated ;)

[GretchenDawntreader]

who the heck takes pictures as their plane is breaking apart? You are about to die.

I know it's fake but who would believe it in the first place?

[mjr256]

This looks like the work of Charles Widmore!!!

Damn you and your elaborate schemes to go back to the island!!!

[Loucifer221]

pmsl!

Ooopsie Doopsie

[UndeadLight]

The LOST guys must have done this. LOL

[megamarsvin]

lol first thing I thought was "that looks like a shot from a movie" :D

[tommysch]

EPIC FAIL

[bobster451]

Oopsie-doopsie!

LOL!

[JuanLMFAO]

They Failed So Hard lol

[audadvnc]

"I don't know what the Bolivian TV standards are... That's embarrassing, man."

Are they as loose as the NYT/etc reportage of Justice Dept. investigation leaks?

[IgWannA2]

if fox news found that camera they would have done the same thing

[aandreya]

braking news

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[FlashFizz]

Show that photo to any airliner geek and he'd say that that's not an Airbus A330.

[bahickma]

I feel like a plane going down would have been shaking a little too violently to take a picture with such clarity..

[bheemabhagawan]

Did they even question the idea that some guy would really whip out his camera and take pics of the plane flying apart as he's about to die? Morons.

[Hazmat347]

Photo Shop like a mother fucker.

[RichoRosai]

It's OBVIOUSLY not an authentic picture. It looks like special effects. And not blurry at all.

[jarmtx]

the producers of lost have to be laughing their asses of

[Notsogratefuldead]

ahaha i was thinking the same thing

[nolane91]

They said they found it in the mountains, lol.

[lordofkronos]

the pic is not clear. can you guys please do HIGH QUALITY videos? im not asking for hd but hq atleast??

[Feistystance]

The picture was blurred by whoever turned it in to the TV station. TYT didn't do it on purpose. /facepalm

[lordofkronos]

thats not even the point im making retard. their videos are not in HQ. u know how most videos on youtube now are on HQ. do u even know wat hq is . just keep your ignorant ass shut or atleast get a brain before u talk

[adolthitler]

HQ = headquarters.

Right?

[maasicas]

yup

[lordofkronos]

high quality u shit face

[Revoltingsheeple]

Jesus Fucking Christ Wept! No. It does not mean headquarters when put in context. It means Harley Quinn, enemy of Batman! :op

[acmilan93333]

I dont watch Lost so I didn't know what it was either but meh :P

[genericaccountuser]

A TV station, don't you think they at least verify first? Wow!

[212blueberry]

hahah pictures of the tragedy

yeaa for lostt loll haha i feel kinda bad because that is a big FAIIL

infront of the WHOLE world

BIG FAIL.

[bdyan1]

Bolivians LOL

[Doodybooty3k]

I knew what this was the second I saw it. Such fools.

[EyesOnJeremy]

0:22 I'm gonna guess that the serial number on the camera was 4 8 15 16 23 42.

[Jaiyeson]

Once again the young turks you how retarded Bolivians are.

[arashzlord]

This wasn't the whole report either, in the whole report they also showed clips, which had mathew Fox and a CGI plain in it.

[BlueOceanBelow]

They actually reported this? Good grief. They're probably the type that take forwarded chain e-mails seriously.

[erjoalgo]

yea

[Fred13B]

Someone jumped off the cliff and *then* thought... 8-O

[Reqrezentin]

Hahahahhahaa

[Melpheos1er]

i knew it. I had hard time finding in my memory where i had seen this picture and when cenk said it... Bham it came back and the whole scene.

[buakawkaoklai]

somebody got payed....ahahhahha....suckers

[MasterBORRACHO]

retards

[Broyale26]

Well, cocaine and heroin come from Bolivia, too, so go figure...

Maybe the producers were zooted up when they gave the go ahead for this clip.

[niquequito]

Nono, they produce it. You take it.

[klard]

I guess the News Reporters are pretty much idiots the world over.

[Ian7570]

lol...good investigation standards. I remember Borat getting on a news channel in the States too though and no one had a clue.

[climbingfool2]

Also, didn't the Air France plane go down at night? the pix were daytime

I don't watch Lost, so that was the first give-away for me that the pix weren't legit.

[TossThatCoin]

Poor Bolivians, what you´re gonna do?

[rag5891]

High. Larious.

I'm with Cenk. I recognized it immediately.

The Bolivians need to work on their journalistic duty and CHECK the freakin' SOURCE. And seriously, these "photos" didn't cross the desk of ANYONE who's watched LOST? C'mon, man.

[david3188col]

what the hell is wrong with them.? those pictures look fake as hell.

[seestickglue232]

lol they might as well of shown the dream sequence video from final destination

[FireRoseX5]

LOL that's awesome. Poor ignorant media it's not their fault. It goes to show how easy it is to get false info out there.

[fenderbass]

maybe that was it.

[upabittoolate]

unmitigated unsuccess

[TheFunkyDomination]

Why is mount rushmore in the background?

[DrQuijano]

That bolivian broadcast reminded me a bit of Fox. Anyway, what's really creepy is that (if true) by using the cammera's serial number they were able to identify the owner of the cammera. That means that whenever you buy something your info is logged somewhere with what you own. This kind of surveilance seems unnecesary.

[occhamsrazor]

Or when you register for, oh I don't know warrenties or service contracts? Please stop the conspiracies...

[DrQuijano]

What you say would make sense only if it were something like a 3,000$ gaming laptop, but a digicam hardly warrants such a contract.

Furthermore, if what you say is true one should still be concerned. One has to wonder how many stores and warranty service suppliers did the newscast call (stalking) and with what degree of ease did the store give out the customer's information? I thought customer info was supposed to be protected.

[occhamsrazor]

when I bought my 20 dallor mouse I ws asked if I wanted to get a warrenty for it.

And second that's on the store or company. Nothing to do with the governemnt.

[HomoCyborgZombie]

Oh god... facepalm D:

[anderseb2007]

I've never seen Lost but I have to agree, the guy floating in the back would make anyone suspicious this was from a show or movie.

[kenzaburo]

the pictures are real

[TheRedneckJunkie]

nothey it

[aereone]

they said that this camera was found in la Sierra de Cachimbo in brasil, (some mountains). It dont make any sense...

[underweightHater]

i would've been very suspicious only because the pictures look too good. carefully lit scene and obviously post - processed.

[Chriseycarlyeah324]

thats lost lol

[rsnic]

Try not to be to judgemental, you can't judge all media by one station. Look at fox news for example, if you watched that you would think most US news is rubbish... well maybe generalisations do apply in some instances.

[BreakOutStudio]

hahah funny

[barby04]

This is why I hate spanish media. They are so anxious to play sensationalist and macabre stories that they won't even fact check. I don't even trust American media, much less spanish news channels. As soon as the swine flu broke out (like 2 days after the WHO announced it), they had a one hour special on Univision called "Mortal Flu" and trust me in spanish "Gripe Mortal" sounds much more alarming, especially with somber music playing thru the whole thing. They are incredibly desperate.

[BreakOutStudio]

they dont watch americas shit

[Stormwern]

wide screen camera ^^

[IMDRanged]

Amazing screw up. Aside from the tragedy, it would have been funny if they found snap shots of William Shatner in Twilight Zone Nightmare At 20000 Feet as news evidence. That or perhaps Ted Striker form Airplane!

[lmm85]

First of all, there is no "Sierra do Cachimbo" in Brazil. It's CLEARLY a hoax fabricated. Actually "cachimbo" literally means "a hard blow."

[benson471]

ana is lovely here. great story, but still. just sayin.

[g1Chase357]

Why was that picture from a TV show on a camera? That's like me dropping a digital camera and someone picks it up to discover that there's picture of Three's Company on it. WTF?

[AshKetchum442]

Screen Cap

[g1Chase357]

Oh yeah, I get the technical aspect. It's just that you'd be more likely to find the screen cap in someone's picture folder on their laptop than on their digital camera.

[jshooper]

the fox news of bolivia

[nilbud]

Smells like the stunt Piers Morgan pulled

[wtmpoppasmurf]

dumb bolivians lol

[JCRF]

A senior Ayatollah in Iran as publicly admitted the election was rigged.

[Voodooray007]

Why don't you use that shoe08 blog you got and shove it right down your ass okay thanks. d(^_^)b

[bleupeony2]

LOL They are only a pawn in the game.

shoe08 is dedicated to Terry Anderson, and all those genuine news reporters, who do care about the truth, and want to tell the story, not create the story.

This example from Bolivia, is easy for us to recognise as a complete farce, so why can't we recognise it in Iraq, Iran, China?

[LaughingManRa]

LOL, "That looks like Lost" was the first thing I thought of when I saw those pictures.

[Unekwu89]

LOL I died laughing when I saw this

how stupid. OMG WOW

[BigG507]

they acctualy showed the hole video

[ncfwhitetigress]

Images from my worst nightmares....

[HammandClov]

"...Wait a minute, that's Kate." LOL. Cenk should do comedy.

[malevolentburrito]

If anything was ever so deserving of the phrase EPIC FAIL!!!! this is it.  All I can say is damn! Just DAMN!!!!!

[Voodooray007]

Imagine FOX news give that report like the Bolivian Press. hehe.

[StewieSwan]

Failblog showed this a few days ago

[Imamonarchist]

I saw this on failblog. Bolivian television stations are clearly run by complete idiots.

[futurestoryteller]

LOL

I figured it out instantly! And I have NEVER even seen that show... you know part of the reason it was solidified so quickly though is the pictures are being presented in wide screen (black bar format). Thinking that was real; you'd have to be dumb as rocks.

[quoe1]

how could you fall for tht?

[kif868]

I wish this was Bulgarian TV report. That way they can read more letters LOL

[ttrop]

haha they failed BAD

[gotSelena]

2:34-2:38 LMFAO!! i know right!

[ThePKSharma]

LOST.
