American broadcaster CNN has been accused 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.


Further proof our media is an arm of the Bush Administration. The irony is we worry about Pravda and Propaganda and in actuality we are the one's getting our info from "The Ministry Of Truth." Orwellelian to the extreme.

1. Let me get this straight....

Pictures of the S. Ossetian city that was attacked by US "ally" Georgia at the US's behest (I'm not even going to argue about this) sparking the conflict, were then used by the US to bolster its claim of Russian aggression against Georgia?

This goes beyond propoganda. This shows a concerted effort decieve the world outright on basic facts about what really happened, then use this deciet to justify an aggressive posture by the US. Sound familiar?

Here are some pictures of Tskinvali shortly after attack:
