During TVE's morning news show La Mañana on Monday, one reporter got his fact and fiction a bit confused.

The show was focused on discussing the Paris terror attacks that killed 129 people on Friday and went on to give details about France launching strikes against Isis stronghold Raqqa in Syria.

While explaining the history of the city, reporter Jota Abril says that "it was one of the first cities taken in 2013 by terrorist groups, but terrorist groups from al-Qaeda," pointing to a black symbol with what looks like al-Qaeda written below it.

But that black symbol represents a different kind of fighter group - Luke Skywalker's fictional Rebel Alliance that combats Darth Vader's forces in the Star Wars films.

And to think before the current government tve1 was considered a good channel with great news broadcasts.

 

[Princess Viola]

goddamn imperial propaganda

 

[Funky Papa]

TVE has been utterly fucking ruined by the conservatives.

That this happened during Mariló's shit ass programme was only natural.

Somewhere the Emperor is secretly still alive and nodding to himself.

You don't want to work in television broadcasting. You want to go home and rethink your life.

Which country is this?

Spain.
As in Spanish TV.
The "E" stands for España

There's a reggeaton band called Alqaedas Inc, that uses that logo, and if you search Al Qaeda logo it comes pretty high up, so I can see the mistake. But still.

Damn J.J. Abrams, that's one hell of a twist.

[super-famicom]

Did they just look at the name of Admiral Ackbar and thought that was the correct logo?
