Milk Factory Bombing (1991)

During the first Gulf War, Americans bombed a Chemical Arms Site, CNN's called it a baby formula factory.

During the first Gulf War, Americans bombed a Chemical Arms Site, CNN's Peter Arnett called it a "baby formula factory". Why? Because it had a hastily painted sign (in English) that said so, and the Iraqi's took him there, and told him it was; ignore the barbed wire, military garrison with guards, and multiple sources saying it was a biological/chemical weapons plant.

No matter who is right, the fact that Arnett did not offer that context/counter-balance, proves they were FakeNews: more interested in regurgitating Iraqi claims, than sharing the American ones.
