ITV used Arma II game to make an IRA documentary (IRA film 1988) claiming real footage!

Sheesh, it's not like that "footage" was even super realistic either. You could see the really obvious jagged edges and circular smoke artifacts.

ITV has apologised after footage it said was from an IRA propaganda video was in fact from a computer game.

''This was an unfortunate case of human error for which we apologise."

'Human error' doesn't really cover this. Looks more like an attempt to damage control a monumental journalism fail. The explanation just doesn't do it for me.
