CNN Caught Red Handed Falsely Using Footage To Vilify Russia

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.

I believe this stemmed from this article at Russia Today:

www.russiatoday.com...

The Georgian town of Gori became a broadcast battleground, as various media sources reported a Russian attack on the city.

Footage of what the Financial Times called the "ruins" of the city appeared on news networks - which came as a great surprise to Russian cameraman, Aleksandr Zhukov, who recognised his own footage as that of Tskhinvali and not Gori.

"When we arrived the news came that Gori was being shelled. I saw my footage and I said, 'That's not Gori, that's Tskhinvali! Having crawled the length and breadth of Tskhinvali I don't need much to tell,'" he said.


This is outright CNN media propaganda and lies. When confronted they are likely just to call it a mistake. Mistake my ass. They know exactly what they are doing, just like every other western media outlet who has attempted to show this war as Russian aggression. There is clearly some malevolent political and media conspiracy here to demonize Russia, but the astute are not falling for it.

The fact of the matter is that Gori is not in ruins. Tskhinvali is.

In additional media lies, watch this video:



This is outrageous. And this is indeed a conspiracy. A big one.

Thanks Jemison.

The way I figure it is if CNN and other media outlets are going to willingly go along with the NWO to help their agenda, then an all out attack via articles and spreading the word against these media outlets is in order. Where do I sign up.

They are supposed to be neutral and non-biased. These media outlets and news organizations caught doing this no longer deserve that title. Instead they effectively work for the government. They should all be incorporated into the WH press secretary's office. Looks like they already have been.

I really don't care if CNN got the cities names wrong in their video, the fact of the matter is Russian troops are killing and raping Georgian civilains, looting homes and businesses and leaving cities and towns in ruins.

You can not blame CNN for the war crimes the Russian military have committed in the past 10 days.

I am not sure what your political agenda here is but it's clearly not democratic with this thread...

Beleive it or not but there are rules to war and the Russian soldiers have ignored these rules by killing unarmed civilians and these killing have been captured on video.

Can you really blame a television network stationed in Atlanta Georgia 6000 miles away from the battle to get towns named correctly when the Russians have jammed air and internet communications out of theater?

Information coming out of Georgia is heavly sensored by the Soviets and who in the hell are we to beleive, CNN or the Russians?

I will take CNN for now, at least they are not killing unarmed civilians!

For every video you can pull out of your pile of tricks that shows Russia killing Georgians and being ''bad guy'', I can do the opposite (Showing Georgians as bad guys), and showing *them* breaking the rules.

Eh. No you can't blame them for not naming them correctly *As long as it is a mistake and not INTENTIONAL*. Also in case of uncertainty they should have added a disclaimer that footage supplied is as is and may be false.

Eg.: Russia Today news anchors always say "We have received info that is *believed* to be, however we are not certain yet." and "According to X, this is *supposedly* still going on."

What kind of foolish comparison is that?

CNN is a news channel right, and Russia is a *country*.
A proper comparison would be NEWS CHANNEL VS NEWS CHANNEL, in which case I can ensure, Russia Today (news channel) has not killed unarmed civilians as well.

That statement makes no logic at all, making a news station and a country seem equal.

If you do not accurately know the information, do not report as if you do.


Simple as that.

Reuters caught with 'fake' pictures from Georgia --Media war against Russia 10 Aug 2008 This morning one can read on the BBC news site -- Reuters agency posts horrible pictures of Russian bombardments of allegedly civilian residential buildings. But what if you take a closer look? [See: A Georgian man cries next to his brother's body in the town of Gori, 80 km (50 miles) from Tbilisi, August 9, 2008. REUTERS/David Mdzinarishvili. Here he is again, alone still with some clothes on, or may be he got changed. The man in the checkered shirt keeps returning!]

and just a little note on this to further explain, imho, this is just another scripted movie to keep american's from the truth.

Wag the Dog: How to Conceal Massive Economic Collapse

What to do? War and threats of war have been used historically to distract the population and deflect public scrutiny from economic calamity. As the scheme was summed up in the trailer to the 1997 movie "Wag the Dog" -- "There’s a crisis in the White House, and to save the election, they’d have to fake a war." Perhaps that explains the sudden breakout of war in the Eurasian country of Georgia on August 8, just 3 months before the November elections. August 8 was the day the Olympic Games began in Beijing, a distraction that may have been timed to keep China from intervening on Russia’s behalf. The mainstream media version of events is that Russia, the bully on the block, invaded its tiny neighbor Georgia; but not all commentators agree. Mikhail Gorbachev, writing in The Washington Post on August 12, observed: "What happened on the night of Aug. 7 is beyond comprehension. The Georgian military attacked the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali with multiple rocket launchers designed to devastate large areas. Russia had to respond. To accuse it of aggression against "small, defenseless Georgia" is not just hypocritical but shows a lack of humanity. . . . The Georgian leadership could do this only with the perceived support and encouragement of a much more powerful force."4

I haven't seen a single video of Russians actually killing Georgian civilians, or vice versa. Would you please post a link or two? Thanks. I've seen the media crew attack videos, and plenty of war footage, but none so specific.

What part did I get wrong.

Russian troops killing civilians or looting homes and business?

Musslewhite, Wag the Dog? Please, the Soviets attacked on the opening day of the Chicom games 8-8-08.

The Russians used the games to cover their invasion, hell it took two days for the world to figure out which Georgia the Russians were attacking.

Wag the dog, come on you can do better!

As far as the media or news coming out of South Ossetia or Georgia it's not really front page news here in the states because the Soviets won't allow independant news services in.

And the news crews that do get into the area are gunned down by Russian regular forces, such bravery shooting at unarmed media crews.

Talk is cheap SIRR1. And links are too. But so far you've not offered a single link to backup your claims. I hope you're not one of the scammed.
