CNN blamed for using misleading war video

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,
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.
Aleksandr Zhukov, from the Russiya Al-Yaum channel, said: “When we arrived and news came that Gori was being shelled, I saw my footage. I said: that’s not Gori! That’s Tskhinvali. Having crawled through the length and breadth of Tskhinvali, I don’t need much to tell from which point this or that footage was recorded. I can swear in front of any tribunal. I can point at this location on the map of the town, because I and the cameraman of the Rossiya channel videotaped that.”

Sometimes we like to turn to CNN for comic relief. These liars are so far from reality, they cannot be from this planet. It was absolutely horrifing to see the way CNN promoted the invasion and mass murder of the Iraqis.
Like it was some kind of game show and the more war victims the Americans murdered, the more celebrating CNN did.
It is really a shame that most people that control the Earth are nothing more than Satanic massmurdering monsters. Too bad they can't be good as us. I'm sure at some point some idiot let these nasty Reptilian lizards out of their cages.
