Okay, It had potential for an interesting discussion but I get that you are in the middle of something that has emotions running high. As I consistently have pointed out in my posts here, there is uneven journalism on ALL sides. I am a fan of the BBC and they do try to show both sides but I will admit that while they do show a bit from both perspectives on this conflict they have been covering the Georgian side more. Which is why I turned to Russia Today in the first place to try to see the Russian perspective but I don't think RT is any more valid a new source then the western media at the moment EXCEPT when it comes to reporting the views of Russians which is valuable to those of us trying to understand.

Btw..I assume you may not have seen the English version of the RT channel (not sure how it works) but it always feels odd to me how many of the newsreaders are Australian.
