CBS reairs footage of Italian hospital after blaming first incident on 'editing mistake'

CBS News reaired footage of an Italian hospital during a segment about U.S. medical facilities scrambling to deal with overcrowding because of the coronavirus.

The network received criticism last week after airing incorrect footage while reporting on New York hospitals and the ventilator shortage.

"It was an editing mistake," a CBS spokesperson told the Washington Examiner. "We took immediate steps to remove it from all platforms and shows."

Social media users pointed out the same footage appeared again on Wednesday on CBS News Digital, its streaming platform.
