Russian channel accuses CNN of using misleading war video

■ MOSCOW (MN) - Russian English-language television channel Russia Today has acused the U.S. broadcaster CNN of using the wrong pictures in their coverage of the conflict in South Ossetia. A Russian cameraman says footage of wrecked tanks and ruined buildings, which was purported to have been filmed in the town of Gori, in fact showed the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, the RTTV reported on its web site.

Gori was said to be about to fall under the control of the Russian army but the cameraman says the video was actually shot in Tskhinvali, which had been flattened by Georgian shelling.

"When we arrived and news came that Gori was being shelled, I saw my footage. I said: that's not Gori! That's Tskhinvali. I can swear in front of any tribunal. I can point out this location on a map, because I and a cameraman from the channel Rossiya videotaped that," the channel quoted the cameraman as saying.

stewox   |2009-02-22 20:56:02 US media is all corrupted there's no doubt ... and not only US media , but most of the media, even in my country but the extent is not as high as they don't made up big things by their self , ... but they seem to believe the big things and report them as truth, ... things they made up is local stuff like "there was more than 500 hundred people at the celebrating event .." while actually there were less than 200 ... WORLD DOMINATION>BILDERBERG and countless other groups, which are directly connected to corrupted government officials> want to dominate over russia resources and the georgia is perfect pathway to get through, as they can make excuses over past troubles with ossetia and the parts, I don't think Georgia's will to attack is 100% self , they would fight as all counties do, but they have been backed and pushed by corrupted organizations such as US UN NATO EU which probably offered them something so they can make this orders so the real source for real agenda is not exposed.... as with israel which after being so allied with US has attacked plaestinian places .. I don't believe that every opposition in middle east is a religious driven extremist group, this is wrong ... those people are too much and agotiations and talk could calm them down and they have no connection to other groups whatsoever ... cause the people who are "opposition" anywhere are always called the enemy and that it has to be destroyed by coalition forces which are "good"(farce) .... I can be an opposition to everything what US UN NATO EU BILDERBERG does .... I would be called Terrorist ... so wtf?!? This is their plan, be with them or be destroyed cause if you are against them you are terrorist(faked) As other "terrorists" who are being blamed for 911 "attacks" are also FAKE. The bush said himself in a quote "There will be time when every country will have to decide if your with us or the terrorists" - Proof on mass media(they don't even realize they made a slip-out) There is no terrorists of any kind ... madrid fake , london fake .... all are driven by the SPONSOR which funds "TERRORISM" And if some are really true terrorists or suicide bombers ... why they do that? Simple, they are the OPPOSITION against government and they have BALLS do resist , they revolt ... other people are SHEEP ... they maybe were normal people but they see it's not worth living in this world anymore cause of that what is spoken about the truth , the wrong is too kill other innocent people around ... but that doesn't happen , it happened on PLANNED FAKED bombings in london and madrid. As it was a perfect way to demonstrate and to fight back truthers about the "terrorism" and how global it is ... it was a distraction which cost people's lives totally innocent, and that is the terrorism that exists! GOVERNMENTAL CORRUPTED ORGANIZED CRIME JFK was assassinated because he was TRUTHFUL, he spoke openly about secret organizations, his speeches were normal... today's speeches are JOKE(like a scripted broken disc) Reply | Quote
