Politically Biased Undoings
My article addition of the article was removed and labeld dubious as well as unreferenced when however it had much truth to it as you could see in external links there was a link to the video (perhaps I should have feautured it in references). Also I never stated that this was actually forged I said "Possibly" so therefore I was not expressing my opinion. If anything I can assume this undo was clearly aimed at just ones illegtimate political and biased opinion to CNN.Cole132132 (talk) 03:07, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * An update... I've contacted the owner of the video. A reputable source is being found. If I do find one and yet my post is still removed I will request mediation.Cole132132 (talk) 18:14, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

gonorrhea? liberal? can people get some links here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.79.11.41 (talk) 00:49, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

So what do you think guys, about this youtube clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0rVnENYC8k

is that true or what? - greeting from germany - anderer

At the very least, it calls a lot of what he is famous for into question. It was very obviously a sound stage he was on. It's just regrettable that whoever made the video was so juvenile in the way they produced it. Mention of it should be in the article, just not sure the best way to word it. Removed the "undo" from earlier, and am letting other people "clean up" the text of the mention of the controversy. - criswell —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.91.203 (talk) 16:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh internet detectives, truly the foremost authority of our time. There's no reason a conspiracy theory youtube video making objections about the presence of door handles in saudi television studios should be part of this article Elpha (talk) 16:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Find a source that is reliable (Alex Jones isn't reliable, and neither are YouTube videos), and we can talk.  --Phirazo (talk) 17:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

You two guys are hilarious. The guy is acting as he is in the streets of saudia arabia, which he is not. it is absolutely clear from the video, and you talk about a reliable source? Jesus, I hope you get paid for that kind of opinion. If you do, drop me a line, I want to get paid too. If you don't get paid, consider getting some education (which costs money, ironic, isn't it?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.90.211 (talk) 00:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

The video above has been removed, so I'm not sure what it contained. Perhaps it was the same as this video?

Well, I'm not a `conspiracy theorist' but it's clear from this video that the guy is in a studio while pretending otherwise. This should be mentioned in the article. 188.155.155.215 (talk) 17:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

None of the above is factually accurate. Jaco was on-site in Dahran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with dozens of military, native, and civilian witnesses. Jaco's three Peabody Awatds came for "The Halleleujah Caucus," a documentary for NBC Network Radio (1980), as part of the CNN team covering Gulf War I (1990), and as part of the CNN team covering the Branch Davidian seige at Waco, Texas (1992). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.149.111 (talk) 13:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

By all means, 71.81.149.111; show me your references.--Cole132132 (talk) 02:40, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

unsupported allegations
The claims made in the current article are that CNN aired false footage. To prove this, it needs to be shown that the footage was aired to the public, and that the location of the filming was not saudi arabia. There have been claims that this was training footage. In it's present state there's no good source in this article that would counter the claim that this was either training footage, or that it was actually filmed in saudi arabia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.202.243 (talk) 16:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The source of the allegations seems to be this video, allegedly leaked by CNN staff:
 * CNN Fake Newscast Best Quality
 * I have not yet come across reliable sources for this. Here is one blog post summing up the allegation and Jaco's responce: Jaco Threatens Blogosphere Over CNN Video?.
 * -- Petri Krohn (talk) 11:50, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm going to remove those allegations, because two youtube videos (and a wordpress blog post) don't constitute reliable sources for allegations of this nature. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:43, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Video evidence of the man himself doing this, is not a "reliable source"? Then what is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.75.45.64 (talk) 07:33, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a youtube video of a man, doing something, at some time, at some place, for some purpose, none of which are proven in the video. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 10:16, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Peabody/Sources?
A quick perusal of the Peabody Awards' website will reveal that no one by the name of "Jaco" has ever won a single award in any category, let alone multiple in a narrower field. Also there is no mention of him anywhere in CNN's website except for a single story regarding a matter unrelated to the Gulf War. Furthermore it is difficult to find any data on him whatsoever that is not from his own website or from a site that uses his as its source. The wording is even notably simmilar. In any case, he seems insignificant even as a minor meme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.8.66.48 (talk) 06:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
