that is serious.

That's spooky shit. I'm amazed at the newscaster's composure. Talk about grace under pressure.

I bet Karl Rove found a new career with the Georgians since 2004. Except this time he's trampling over a different constitution, so it's okay!

But the independent TV station was pro-Russian, and the leader of Georgia who's suppressing peaceful street protests thru force is pro-Western, so the Americans should be happy, right?

upvote for professionalism.

UmberGryphon, just because he's pro-western doesn't mean this is right. Who gives a f*ck about what Bush does because he represents only a small percent of the narrowminded people in this country. This is OFFENSIVE to western culture!!! I don't care if he's pro-Russia or pro-Guam, suppression of the voice of the people by any means is just wrong. If Bush could actually do the right thing, it would be to put a stop to THIS.

Be thankful while you can, that the internet is still here. Despite Comedy Central's ban on foreign counties, China's excessive filtering and arresting of dissenting bloggers, North Korea's total blockade of anything foreign (hell, they praised their God-like leader when he FINALLY allowed an eye surgeon to come in and fix something that us Westerners don't even know about because we've almost entirely fixed the problem) and American capitalist dictorial corporations selling out for a few dollars despite the know consequences of their toxin filled toys, bio-pirated foodstuff, and slave labor to name a few.

To all you Americans, please, don't ever let this happen in our country. And to our leaders . . . Jesus Christ, do something right for once!

This is America if Americans don't start giving a shit.

LOL this remembers me on Babylon 5 when they closed down ISN.
How real it was.

shatterdrose, I was under the impression that UmberGryphon was being sarcastic.

Played out a short time ago in Chile, with Señor El Presidente Pinoncha?? and a handful of weeks ago in Venezuela con Animallissimo Chavez......happens a lot you can bet, wherever someone with ego, $$, and power, wants it to....

What a shame. Upvote.

hardly a peep in the US media about it.

That newscaster and crew will win a peace prize or something for journalism one day you mark my words.

Remember, they used to channel Hitlers name over the intercom, drop leaflets from the sky, and echo over the radio but the things he stood for are over thanks to reasonable people. Over after World War II anyway. Unfortunately police states still exist today and it's brave people like this who are willing to speak out and put themselves at risk that keep us all free.
