Has there ever been any proof of MSM/government agencies passing off a hoax as a real terror event?

The question becomes rhetorical once you watch the video.
Essentially all of the western msm played this up as an authentic Baghdad bombing last year, in an attempt to stir up motivation for assaults in northern Iraq.
Baghdad “officials” were reporting casualties, and even though it was shown to be a hoax within a week or two, not a whisper from msm would cover it. None of our government, Intel, or military agencies corrected the record.

Written Analysis from poster in comment section; great read!
