Fox News: 12 Year Old Girl Tells the Truth about Georgia

Juan Cole 08/18/2008

Ooops. Fox News Interviews an Ossetian-American 12-year-old girl who thanks Russian troops for saving her from Georgian aggression.

But Fox News was obviously not happy with the way the interview went.

Gee,that isn’t that master narrative in the US military-information complex.

(Of course the Russians contravened international law, too, but Saakashvili’s attack on the Ossetians was not exactly saintly).
