On the other hand, this kind of thing happens all the time, both in the print and electronic media - people use library images to illustrate when they don't really have a picture of the thing. It's a dirty little secret that no one mentions, but usually no one notices. Another recent case of this are the anti-capitalism protests, where the same footage was used to represent several different events.
In this case, I've heard it from several different sources, including a couple of usually reliable ones in the business, but I have been unable to stand the story up. It does look bad though, and it would be good if people were more aware of it.
