Russia Decries Media Bias Over Georgia Conflict
By Don | August 13, 2008
The Russian foreign minister accused the western press of media bias over the Russia-Georgia conflict.
From Variety.
Russian deputy foreign minister Grigory Karasin has accused Western media orgs of bias in their coverage of the Georgia fighting, but U.S. and U.K. TV execs are unfazed, saying that claims of bias are �bananas.�
Within Russia, TV and newspaper reports of the conflict have overshadowed coverage of the Olympics, with patriotic and emotional reportage on the conflict that Russia blames on the Georgians.
Nothing like a government official from a country with a state-run media monopoly accusing the western media of bias.

LOL! The pot calling the kettle black! At least our biased media don’t poison dissidents.
Nor kills innocent/rob/nor destroys all the great new construction/rebuilding done by Georgia.
But, Obama got his first 3:00 A.M. Call, he was informed that the Russians were attacking Georgia, to which he replied: Oh my Allah!, next they will attacking Arkansas and maybe Kentucky.
media bias??...of course it is true…all of the news about russia is coming from the georgian prez who is a trained american lawyer,specializing in human rights, and a frequent commentator on CNN…he once gave shoot and kill orders against all of his opponents…he is a darling of the left…he is also stating that the russians are setting up concentration camps…do you think Putin and Medvedev are that stupid???....
