I guess if ogrish had a history of manipulating videos or reporting republicans as democrats like Fox News, that might be the case. Wiki's own article mentions nothing about it making false claims or other errors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogrish.com
The CBS news and Washington Post both refer to the video and to the organization that initially uncovered it. The only question seems to be whether the video released on 9/23 was also them. The previous video was accepted as fact.

Can we presume that Pentagon press releases are not used as sources on WP?
