"On Oct. 9, 2023, CNN broadcast a video of its chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, and members of her team moving quickly
along a roadside near the Israel-Gaza border. Moments later, the team
was seen lying down on the ground during what was described as a
"massive barrage of rockets."
An unidentified man with Ward's team then mentioned that the rockets
were coming from Israel's Iron Dome. "That's the Iron Dome," he said, reassuring Ward and the crew of their safety.
This genuine video was aired on CNN's cable channel and was also
reposted to its online accounts, including on YouTube.
Ward, who gave birth to her third child in May, is in the region in
order to report first-hand from the warzone, just as she has done in
other dangerous locations in the past.
However, after this video became available online, it was manipulated
by a user who added an audio track of what sounded like someone
pretending to be an acting coach and telling Ward and other members of
her team what to do.
The clip with the added audio track of the purported acting coach was
posted by an account named The Quartering."

Damn are libs stupid.
The fake video was "fact checked" because you fuckwitted right-wingnuts *believed* it. Who created the fake dubbed video? A right-wingnut, *for* gullible right-wingnuts. *After* the fakery was unmasked, the "meme" creator posted some shit to create the false impression that it "always" was understood to be fake, but he was lying. Here's some of the additional explanation you dishonestly omitted from the Snopes piece:
The Quartering also posted as a reply on X, "Yes of course the voice over
isn't real but the fake acting IS real."
A YouTube video posted by The Quartering also promoted the false claim that
Ward and the other members of her team, who were all risking their lives to
report from the warzone, were acting for the camera, apparently regardless of
the fake audio that had been added. No credible evidence was provided to
support the claim that they were acting. Still, users who commented under the
YouTube video seemed to believe it anyway.
So even though he admits to dishonestly editing the video, he doubles down on his lie that the CNN crew were "acting." They were not acting. They really didn't know initially that the rocket barrage was from Israel's "Iron Dome."
The reason Snopes has an undeserved reputation (among fuckwitted right-wingnuts)
for being "liberal" is that the vast majority of fake shit — "memes" and faked
videos and e-mail pass-alongs that stupid people fall for — are aimed at, and *believed by*, stupid knuckle-dragging right-wingnuts like you. You have no critical thinking ability whatever, and completely fucked-up powers of observation. You see shit that doesn't exist, when you see stuff that does exist, you have no ability to see what it really is and discern what it really means.
