Here's something you won't see on the US TV networks:

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.

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.

But of course, mentioning this interferes with the depiction of the Russians as Evil Huns and the Georgians (aka the clients of McCain operative Randy Scheunemann) as Noble Freedom Fighters.  It ain't that simple, folks.
