It’s in the video. Yes, most people won’t know the difference - but to those who do, it’s like calling a T-90 a Leo 2. Will it cause people to vote for another party? Probably not. But it’s still a chuckle-worthy moment.I haven't seen the plane pic.
Not interested enough to go looking. Nor do I believe many laymen are either. I'll bet its only some military people and civvie afficiandos that even noticed.
I can see how the journalist in you would abhor false info being published in print and video.
While the video was funny but not a campaign-killer, like @The Bread Guy mentioned, the CPC response to the reactions wasn’t an explanation or apology, but just taking it down. To me, that’s more puzzling - if it’s some random intern who messed up, even some bland explanation would be good enough. Just taking it down without mentioning why could be seen as either slinking away (unlikely), or hoping that people forget.
Unfortunately, this is the age of the Internet so no, people don’t forget.
