(See new comments below since posting the video) A 12 year old girl and her aunt who were stuck in South Ossetia while Georgian Troops attack appear on Fox News and the aunt exclaims, "Georgia is at fault! Georgia attacked us. Mr. Mikheil SAAKASHVILI has to go - he must resign." Shep immediately cuts to commercial and cuts her off! You can hear her say, "You don't want to hear this..." The Truth - right on Fox News and they CUT HER OFF!
The 2nd part to this clip I didn't watch as it was a bit too much for me, personally.
I tried 5 or 6 times to post this on Greta wire without luck. I was able to post half of it, but it would not take the 2nd half, so I posted a link to this page . I know it will not have the same impact but I tried, that's the best I can do. --Laura/whereabouts

And the first half of the letter (wasn't able to post the 2nd half): https://gretawire.foxnews.com/2008/08/14/campaign-update-2/#comment-1564203
I just watched a clip of Sheppard Smith's show from the 13th where he interviewed the 12 year old girl and her aunt who were in South Ossetia when GEORGIA ATTACKED and I have to say that I couldn't be more disgusted with all of you over at Fox. The US media, namely Fox, is attempting to paint Russia as the bad guy for invading Georgia when that is an outright LIE! Anyone who supports that lie is a part of that lie and that is a disgrace to the United States of America. It's time for the TRUTH and an END to the manipulating propaganda.
Greta, you work there and you support it, just like with the black listing of Ron Paul. That's not a democratic process, it's filthy and twisted, and you support it, Greta, because you are in the thick of it and do not OBJECT to it. I am amazingly and thoroughly disgusted and disappointed in that. I thought you had more honor and integrity than that.
Obama is a disgrace and big fat liar. Hillary Clinton is a criminal along with her criminal husband. Do you know how many people associated with the Clintons and their "Whitewater" scandal are now dead? All of them either being "suicided" or "accidented", and you, Greta, support them.
You are all either filthy liars or you don't know a lick about what is really and truthfully going on in the world and that is the most irresponsible thing that any well known newscaster/journalist/etc can do.
Those who are in the public eye have a great responsibility to mankind and a responsibility to their fellow citizens to REPORT THE TRUTH and to report it with honor and integrity, and class. All of you at Fox News have blacklisted the most honorable and most distinguished US Representative to ever win an election, and this individual is a TEN TERM ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE who has NEVER voted against the US Constitution: Ron Paul.
Yeah, I'm on a roll right now because I AM PISSED! I can't believe that I once admired and respected you. I can't believe that I once really like Sheppard Smith. LIES! You, Shep, and all the others look the other way, pretend the truth isn't the truth all so you can keep your jobs. That's not the American Way. That's the weak, and spineless actions of a shady character.
Anyone who doesn't stand up for what is right, ESPECIALLY those in your shoes, Greta, is not a true American - they are a coward and unpatriotic. A true American has the COURAGE to do what is right, for the good of all.
I WANT TRUTH, AND HONOR, AND INTEGRITY! I am SICK of the LIES, the deceit, the manipulation of the masses through the monopoly media (39% is a monopoly and, until recently, was against our US Constitution...remember that thing...that dusty old document that you studied in Law School?).
I sat here and watched all of you swarming over at Drew and Stacy's, making the news, feeding the public. Yes, there were some very good things you did for the case, there is no denying that, and you are commended for that, but lets get real here. What is it really about, Greta? What is your purpose in all of this?
Maybe it's time for you to reel yourself back in and ask yourself some honest questions and have the integrity to answer them honestly to yourself. Why are you here? What is your purpose? In the end, is it the right thing to do? Do you really do your homework when you are discussing politics? Do you? Do you view every possible bit of information objectively and then come to an independent opinion and perspective?
If you don't, then you are a part of the problem. If you do, then you are part of the problem because you are lying, which I don't think is the case. I think you believe in what you know. The problem is, you really don't know and that, Greta, leads to a great promoting of erroneous information. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating it. The same applies to everything. Ignorance of what is, is no excuse for promoting more of the same.
What brought you to this place and point? What happened to the American people standing proud and tall with honor and integrity for truth and justice? Where did it all go?
You are a part of all that, and wherever you decide to go from here, you're a part of all what is to come as well. You have a great responsibility with so many followers, I hope and pray you realize that. I hope and pray you get back to your roots and think about what is right and what isn't and I hope and pray you choose to do what is right, for America and it's people. You are one of the few who is blessed enough to be in such a powerful position. You are in a great position of power and authority, a great position of influence not only n the US but all over th world, Greta. You are one of the few who has a chance to change the world, for the better.
And that kind of changing the world to make it better for everyone, my dear lady, is the American way.

The Truth about Ron Paul
The Primary Polls: Ron Paul Blacklisted
Don't be so quick to draw conclusions just yet. There is a whole lot more to this story than the opinion of a twelve year old can tell us. We have historical precidents that we can learn from if we can control our emotions and examine them carefully.
The details of the relationship between Gorgia and Russia are only just becoming known to the American people. The picture is far from complete and already our biased media has begun to take sides and distort our realities. It is impossible at this early date to be certain who is wearing the black hat.
From what I'm gathering so far the Ruskies have been settling (planting)some of its citizens in Ossetia over the decades in order to claim the land through a population concensus. You may recall that Hitler made the same claim in the Sudetenland. You may also recall that Israel tried to stake a claim to the West Bank by settling its people there. Hell, when you get right down to it America became what it is today by the simple expedient of steady encroachment westward.
The truth, it seems to me, is that Russia has been setting a carefully laid trap to push the Georgians to a breaking point and had its vast armies waiting on the border to spring on them. The fact that a twelve year old Russian girl was caught up in the fighting should really be no surprise under the circumstances.
Considering the historical similarities to the Nazi behavior of the 30's we shall soon see if we will purchase "peace in our time" once again.
