CNN Uses Switched Footage

A photographer sees that CNN used his footage of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia which the Georgians flattened along with killing thousands. The network wanted to make you think it was the city of Gori "which was falling under Russian control", as in look what the evil Russians did to this place.
And you're supposed to think the fighting began "when Russia moved in tanks", conveniently omitting the start to this war when the Georgians slaughtered the Russian peacekeepers.
This is the face of fascist propaganda, lying to you to get you to support possible war against Russia.

"PSYOPs personnel, soldiers and officers,'' De Vries quoted Collins as telling him, ``have been working in CNN's headquarters in Atlanta through our program `Training with Industry.' They worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of news.''

Man, that is outrageous.
The corporate media is so corrupt and worthless these days, its unbelievable. Well thats the problem - people will believe them.

But if our government is crazy enough to attack Russia, or even Iran, the military should stage a coup in Washington and arrest all of the neocon traitors. A guy can dream, can't he?

The insane mass murdering criminals in Washington are frothing at the mouth desperate and are capable of absolutely anything right now.
And the CIA ridden, miserable MSM will cover for them every time.

Although I'm extremely inclined to believe this, where is the actual evidence? I really should have went on that "From Tskhinvali to Gori" Bike excursion in college. From what I heard it was nothing but a party.

Well Mike, here's the thing about propaganda. It's the sum total of fudging the facts, sly innuendo, creative history and outright falsehoods.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know if the scenes that CNN were showing were from Tskhinvali, Gori or Dublin, Ireland, because I've never been to those places either. But when every trend you come across shows a distinct bias along with factual errors, after a while you have to decide for yourself if there's if there's a pattern, a modus operandi for a specific purpose.
I can absolutely guarantee in this Caucasus crappola that the execrable MSM is shilling for the fascists and their client state Georgia. Just like the Israeli-Lebanon war from two years ago or 9/11, with this egregious crap you can find thousands of instances where the MSM pulls tricks to deceive us, and every time it's for the same purpose, to make us think a certain way. The media really is corrupt and compromised in service to their corporate masters.
This time they want to demonize Russia, and you can see it in sly headline wording, shaded inferences and I believe in this case, phony film footage. Whether they were lazy or intentionally duplicitous it fits right in to their agenda.
