MEDIA WARS- SECOND REPORT IN TWO DAYS BY RUSSIAN MEDIA TARGETING WESTERN MEDIA.

Its the second time Russian media made a repost about western medias biased reporting . first report was about biased western reporting about 2008 osettian war( u can watch that report on this blog in archives of 10th august) wich was aired on RT on 10th august . below is the new report aired today by the same Russian news channel RT.

SOURCE-RT

On the first anniversary of the war in South Ossetia, many in the region are taking time to reflect. In the US, however, there’s almost no mention of the conflict, so heavily covered just a year ago.



It dominated the front pages of newspapers for weeks, playing a pivotal role in the presidential election.

Back then, candidate Obama and his opponent John McCain flexed their foreign policy muscles defending Georgia.

Never mind the fuzzy facts, Russia was seen as the aggressor in the court of public opinion, while Georgia was the little democracy that could.

One year later, the blanket reporting has halted. In Manhattan, the epicenter of the message and media capital of the country, there is no mention of South Ossetia on news tickers or plasma screens.

Health care, finance and Obama dictate the current news cycle, and the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict is just old news in the US.

And while the Caucasian country struggles to be rebuilt following Georgia’s invasion last August, the Americans are left in the dark about the anniversary.

Meanwhile, South Ossetia is not the only news story that the American media has dropped once it’s gone off the boil. The coup in Honduras and the conflict in Gaza have also slipped below the radar.

So the Americans shouldn’t be surprised that the domestic media has divorced itself from last year’s global story.
