Apparently Charles Jaco is the same reporter that is alleged to have done a fake news report during the Gulf War: http://www.videosift.com/video/Fake-CNN-Gulf-War-Newscast

What about the poor acting? ;}

Check out 1:13 - two different/distinct shades of blue.

- You can hear the fan blowing the leaves of the fake trees

- The trees in the background only blow around right before his reporting, or during the reporting. During the bloopers they are more-or-less still.

- 4:05 "We can't show you anything else than what you're seeing right now, because of military regulations"

Yeah, okay buddy.

I could go on, but I'll just post a bit from the video description:

The first part of this video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian "hotel" in the background were fake palm trees and a blue wall in a studio. This clip was leaked by CNN staff.

The second part of this video was a live CNN satellite feed recorded onto VHS showing the final cut. Charles Jaco was wearing a different jacket, but he had the same act. The acting was terrible as Charles Jaco wore a gas mask, and his fellow correspondent Carl Rochelle wore a helmet. The sirens and missile sound effects are part of the stage set. The camera never pans out or shows the sky.
