Wash Post Intern: Coverage of Russia vs. Georgia way way biased

Can she Twitter? If she can, she's got a twin sister in fantasyland...

 

Critical left-out factoid: The writer is Russian.

 

Her story was biased before she even started writing.

 

This line made me read the rest without paying too much attention:

 

Didn't we go over the berm in Iraq at night too?

 

While I appreciated the Russian perspective on their move, it really doesn't explain what Russian troops are doing in areas nowhere near South Ossetia.

 

They got lost.
Their navigational systems were made in America.

 

It's definitely way out there. But I will say this:

I read at least a couple stories from U.S. newspapers/news services immediately after Russia crossed the border that didn't even mention that Georgian troops had moved into South Ossetia first.

 

I've had to talk to a Congressman from our area the last few nights because two quasi-local sisters who visited their grandparents in Georgia are now stuck in the middle of this mess, and he's been working every political corner to try to get them home. Last night he told me that this thing is so close to getting very critical very fast.
