One of my blog readers in Russia keeps me up to date on all the happenings of the Russian front from his perspective. He is an ex-pat from the U.S. and immediately warned me that the Georgia situation was being improperly reported; if you can imagine such a thing on U.S. News.
Here is a link to a Russian News cast featuring Fox News reporter, Shepard Smith and it didn’t go exactly as planned. Watch ol’ Shep squirm as the victim blames the Georgian government.
Mike Folkerth is the author of "The Biggest Lie Ever Believed" and is not your run-of-the-mill author of finance and economics.
The former real estate broker, developer, private real estate fund manager, auctioneer, Alaskan bush pilot, restaurateur, U.S. Navy veteran, heavy equipment operator, taxi cab driver, fishing guide, horse packer and few jobs too embarrassing to mention, writes from experience and plain common sense.
Mike's humorous systems of "Mikeronomics" and "Mikemathics" drastically simplify the economic and mathematic formulas commonly used by very smart, but terribly sheltered individuals.
Thanks for the giggle. I have seen other videos of victims and some accurate reportage on foreign news sites...but nothing is so delicious as seeing Fox get side-winded!
I have to rely on posts like yours to see stuff like this because Fox generally makes my skin crawl.

I did have to smile as I watched Shepard try to salvage this piece gone bad.
There isn't an honest news report anywhere, left leaning or right leaning, they all lean their respective direction. What shame that we can't have people in the middle that report it like it is.

Yep. They sure don't seem to like it when they hear exactly what happened from eyewitnesses. They'd rather believe what George W tells them the official story is. They won't even address the allegations of their own guests.
