Why western media talks false information to people about Osetia-Georgia conflict?

Question

I was realy upset by looking through offencing info on the most of the western sites about Georgian-Osetia conflict. I have a friends at the Osetia and was born at the North Caucausian region. All people respect each other there and always can discuss problem without war. Friday night at 00.06 am Georgian artillery strikes South Osetian capital, NOT RUSSIAN FORCES. Russian peacemakers was silent till moment when georgian military start to kill osetian people right on the streets of their capital. Even nearest neighbors Abhasia and Azerbaijan military rise against Georgia. Many facts western media dont show or just keep silent. More than 2000 OSETIAN CIVILIANS killed by georgian artillery and much more facts.

WHY I SEE everywhere that RUSSIA is agressor???

Answer 1

I've just been there in the region mentioned. When yesterday I started to watch BBC and CNN I was shocked by what they are saying there! They have absolutely no objective information, only links to Georgian government. That is not the news... They turned everything around. They are not only silent about the situation in general or some of the aspects of the situation, they are just lying! Like they are showing georgian SU-25T and saying Russia bombing georgia. Russia is bombing nothing from planes, it's silent in Georgia, but Georgians destroyed Osetia. BBC is showing records from Osetia's capital and saying russians did it! That's unbelievable! Western people have no news anymore, they just have what governments want them to have.  

Answer 2

Man people from Usa, America etc don't know, that Saakashvili began the war with Sourch Osetia, He Killed over 2000 old mens and old womens, kids and peaceful peoples.

All Western new sites write only about Georgia, but no one photo about Osetia.

And that is why Yahoo delete posts.

Very interesting, news bbc.com at english language and russian language are DIFFERENT(various)!

If you want to know true, look european sites.

Kosovo=Osetia

Answer 3

Because the mentality of the West is full of hate and power hunger, or in fact, power starvation. I hope and pray the Russian success in this 5 Days War will cool down some crazy war mongers in the West and elsewhere.

Answer 4

Beginning under the rule of "Daddy Bush", all control of the

American media was seized by the US government. This

was done by the son of Colin Powell (Michael Powell) who

was made the head of the FCC.

After that, all news has to be approved by a federal office

in Washington. The American media is now nothing but

a puppet of the government, and will say only exactly what

the government wishes it to say.

I think that speaks for itself about the changes which the

Bush family has brought to America.

Answer 5

It's not all about good and evil. It's about ruff politic games. US wants to see Georgia be a part of NATO. So there will be an US base on the border of Russia. So why Georgia attacks South Osetia? Because of NATO terms that any country need to be done, if it wants to be a part of NATO:

- There mast not be any territorial problem. But Georgia has 2 of them! Its South Osetia and Abhasia. And Georgia have only 4 months to solve this problem. In 4 months NATO will make a decision about Georgia membership.

Saakashvily decided to start from the weakest one "problem".

Also we have to remember:

1) US instructors train Georgia's soldiers

2) US government equip Georgia's army. And it's very good equipment.

3) US organize an revolution in georgia, and in result murderer Saakashvily become "chief" of "free" Georgia. And he will do anything that US tell him to do!

But he went father, he begun a genocide of Osetian people.

And that is why your media can't tall you the true. Because the true is very hard. The true is:

MAIN AGGRESSOR IS USA

Answer 6

How many times have Ossetians launched artillery attacks into Georgia before this? How many times has Russia violated Gerogian airspace and fired missiles into Georgia? Russia provoked this as an excuse to invade Georgia. Personally I'm surprised there were enough sober Russian troops to invade.

How many times have Ossetians launched artillery attacks into Georgia before this?  - 0

How many times has Russia violated Gerogian airspace and fired missiles into Georgia? - 1 violation to prevent this genocide few weeks ago, 0 missiles

Russia provoked this as an excuse to invade Georgia. - Tommorow mexicans will come to your home town, destroy it, kill 2000 people, and everyone will agree that you provoked them, and u can't do anything with that. So it's retarded lie.

Personally I'm surprised there were enough sober Russian troops to invade. - I'm surprised that only 33 year old man in US can write.

Answer 7

Because media is managed by USA, and The US is THE REAL aggressor who invaded Iraq and Afganistan. They look funny now, after killing hundreds of thousands innocent people in Iraq.

The situation there (S. Osetia) is much more complex than you even can imagine. That people deserved independence and suffered so much since the early 90s and even earlier from Georgia.

Added: Georgia would never attack S.Osetia without encouraging from America. The reason for this attack is (1) independent oil transport route control is very important for oil price manipulation before American President election. (2) McCain claims about Russia needed to be confirmed.

However, you might see the completely same situation as in Serbia and Kosovo. Genocide of Osetian people is pretty much similar if not the same as a genocide of Kosovo people.

Oil is the reason. That is a short answer.

Answer 8

---- I am from Russia-Saint-Petersburg. -----

Q. WHY I SEE everywhere that RUSSIA is agressor ?

A. Because it is necessary for Georgia for the justification of murders of thousand peace people.

   In any conflict there are at least two parties. And in this case them three. You have listened only to one party. There were two more.

   In occasion of the previous statements I can tell the following....

Osetins in Georgia as Indians in America. It's their ground on which they lived centuries and this ground does not belong to Georgia.

Answer 9

MaximL - Because they can't say anything else. How else they can explain to people like Albert Fish & NeoNerd, who can take their info only from one source, hopefully not censored by Kremlin or by Beijing or by Berlin or by Paris, that killing civilians in Tzkhinvaly is not the same as killing serbcivilians on Balkans? How else they can explain that UN officials have no time to give their judge to Georgian 6hour-non-stop shelling of sleeping civil city BECAUSE IT IS LATE & IT IS TIME TO SLEEP?

They even do not know that Georgia had South Osetia as it's land only by Soviet Communists decision & refused Osetin's will twice (yet many times historically)

Don't be suprised by answers - what else could you expect from one-side-informed people

Answer 10

I don't know where U take that info from people. I will say it as it is. Osetia was georgian territory. But some years ago osetians threw all georgian citizens out of there and declared that they wanted to be a part of russia. It wasn't legal or something. they just threw everyone out and declared "independency". after that fire never stopped from osetian separatists for years. some days ago georgia got sick of it  asked osetian "government" for discusion and 3hour non-fire time for that. osetians were firing all 3 hours and didn't respond with answer. Georgia had no choise and it had right to defend it's territory from rebells. artillery attacked. people died and nobody is happy bout it.  

Answer 11

How many times have Ossetians launched artillery attacks into Georgia before this?  How many times has Russia violated Gerogian airspace and fired missiles into Georgia?  Russia provoked this as an excuse to invade Georgia.  Personally I'm surprised there were enough sober Russian troops to invade.

Evil pokowhatever, get your facts straight.

Russian missile launched into Georgia  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/08/world/...

On Aug. Sixth the ossetians destroyed a Georgian armored personell carrier and killed several Georgians, which provoked the military action by Georgia to recapture IT'S OWN LAND.

Answer 12

you think you know truth?!  no! you think they killed 2 000 ossetians? only Georgians? nobody knows truth! you think we wanted kill south ossetians, it's not truth! and you realy dont know whats happen'd in south ossetia! Georgians dont be started war! and its verry hard situation, not you ,not me dont know what happend, we love our country, south ossetia not is Russia!  

Answer 13

The answer,it's very easy,the republicans want that people thought that Russia is a treat,so people would vote for him,

why the h**l nobody talks about China like that?

because if the chinese make the yuan convertible?

the whole world would be in a goddamn crisis,

the dollar would be nothing,euro too

Answer 14

I agree with on a_i_r, here in the US everything is censored people, we know nothing of what's truly going on and we need to demand the truth instead of being spoon fed lies about what's going on overseas. We need to start asking our government to stop censoring our news and stop controlling the media from hiding their true intentions before it's too late from not saying anything, we are then stripped from OUR freedoms and OUR say in everything, we have lost some already people, wake up and stop supporting the Bush administration, it has disbanded the checks and balances and the legislative branch has taken full control.

Answer 15

That would be because Russia is the aggressor here. They've repeatedly violated Georgian airspace and supported artillery strikes from Ossetia into Georgia. They're capitalising on this internal affair to try to seize control of Georgia.

Pokemaniac - Please. Please. Please. Read news that isn't censored by the Kremlin.

Answer 16

Because Russia is the agressor.  This was an internal affair between Georgian and Osetia and the Russians moved in to take advantage of the situation and to bring Georgia back under their control.
