Polish TV shows Obama with PlayStation controller while watching Osama bin Laden mission

Polish journalist and Romenesko reader Marek Miller writes:

The main public TV station in Poland (TVP 1) ran a story about the movie “Zero Dark Thirty” in the main edition of their news. While talking about how bin Laden got killed, they showed a famous picture of Obama and his administration while being informed about that fact. Notice something weird about the photo? (I am attaching it to this mail).

Yep, they backed their story with a photo they found on the web [with Hillary Clinton holding popcorn and President Obama with a PlayStation controller]. Here’s a proof it actually happened on TV (go to 1:33, as it’s in Polish). Main edition of this news is watched by almost 4 million viewers.

Yeah, someone might have wanted to take 5 seconds to look at the image before using it in a broadcast.
