It's natural that things slow down, it's 01:52 AM in Georgia at the moment, so I think it's natural to have less new informations.

What is sky news saying on tv lately?


not much I'm afraid. BBC News 24 is have a guy on now on HARDtalk and he's talking about Georgias PM being branded a war criminal by europe. He's also reporting live from Tbilisi and all is calm there.
I'll post anything from Sky News if anything crops up.

Believe me, I understand. The amount of conflicting reports, most of them despite being contradictory, being entirely unsubstantiated thus far, is enough to make everyone's head spin >_<

I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall of two governments' official PR policies, trying to break through to an accurate description of what's happening on the ground. It's incredibly frustrating and sad, because while I'm trying to find out what's happening, I have little doubt that regular people are suffering on both sides.

You hit so many points there I agree with!

Plus when you have Sky News saying "Oh Gori has no troops in" then BBC saying Gori has fallen... it's kind of hard to keep track.

It's a symptom of a much larger problem, one that may be unprecedented in modern times. Usually when a war happens there are numerous international observers and on-the-ground news crews confirming every detail with their own eyes. This time though, for some totally inexplicable reason, everything they report starts with "Russian official today said," or, "A spokesman for the Georgian interior ministry said," etc. It's mind boggling. Where are the reporters?
