CTV Misidentifies VT Killer, Falls for Internet Hoax

Unbelievable. A few days ago we beat Allahpundit by a few minutes and became the first to debunk the internet myth that had quickly fingered Wayne Chiang as the Virginai Tech mass murderer. He wasn't. But apparently they didn't get the memo up in the Great White North.

Yesterday, the publicly owned Canadian Television broadcast a series of pictures of VT killer Seung Hui Cho. The only problem? Two of those pictures was actually of the VT gun enthusiast, Wayne Chiang. They actually lifted these photos straight off of Wayne's webpage, and then interlaced the images with those of the VT killer's video.

I guess all Asians look alike in Canada!

Wayne, for his part, is pretty miffed. You can see the CTV video and hear his reaction here.

2 CTV is not publicly owned.
CBC (The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is the public broadcaster, CTV is the equivalent of CNN.

3 CTV has a cable news channel but is first and foremost an old-fashioned network. A better analogy would be NBC.

4 Canadians. First they lose their balls, then their brains. What do you have left? Leftards like Canuckfuck John. Last time I went to Toronto there was a raghead on every corner. According to the locals all of them were on the dole. Canada has gone socialist.
