Russia plans (last time since 1947-49

and 1954-56) and exterminate nations since 9 AD

- Russia is lie multiplied by 150 millions Russians,

lying mashine, bough by stolen oil, gas and robbed USSR,

and some missguided by them Imperial resurectors

on the right and Third World brigades on the Left.

Specially Georgia and Caucasus.

Foreign Minister Ivanov and McCain are full of so much shit, both of them.

[Grgna1]

No one INITIATED the media war. It started by both sides because too obvious for both sides that it's extremely important to gain supporters in other countries. About this report, I can bet my head that it's "funded" by Russians. Not only this, Russians are rewriting history. Medvedev just hired people to rewrite history saying how even more parts of Georgia were initially Ossetian and Georgians took it violently. Something that never happened but unfortunatelly people will belive it eventually.

[Kurtlane]

Pretty lousy report. Blame this war on McCain, blame it on Georgia, on Saakashvili, on anyone but Russia and Putin.

A ton of half-truths in details, too many to go into.

Anything but what really happened.

Contradicting or not with CNN, FOX viewpoint cannot be use as the measure for objectivity.

But on other hand it suspiciously matches only with Russians viewpoint.

They (TRNN) never mentioned third part opinion. Such are independent organizations: HRW etc. That is why Im thinking that report is not objective, and it is very pro-Russian and many facts are simply wrong (I already mentioned important one).

Georgia is the one that initiated the media war... Even Georgians understood that the war against Russia was just a facade put on for the international community. Sakashvili put his people in harms way for the sole purpose of starting a media war.

Objectivity is looking past the masses which are lead by mainstream sources like CNN, FOX, etc. .... Considering the viewpoint of this video contradicts their stance, this video is pretty objective.

[ilakri]

This report was made long time after the war and it was known that Russians were intentionally putting in to the media wrong number.

And this is important fact, which changes the perception of this war. TRNN never mentioned that Ivanov was wrong in his interview. They sale Ivanovs interview like truth, and this is wrong in my opinion.

I never say that Russian government pays TRNN. But I do say that this report is very pro-Russian.

[kpsanjose]

People have 6th sense to analysis anything. Good luck in the future..

[kpsanjose]

Only thing is not correct is the no of civilian(SO) killed in the starting of the war which russia itself agreed later as honest way. Other than that every thing is correct as this mention. The No of geogian fleed even before war statred, accoding to Geogian plan, How can u expect them to return the land? since They left in a cunning way and avoid the death.

last thing, Do I neet to mention How much money geogian and media get from US and their facts of coverage in media?

[ilakri]

Yes, Im right, at list I try to point out incorrect facts in the report. I suggest people to get objective information from independent sources.

You can comment the TRNN report if you want.
