A US girl from San Francisco goes to S. Ossetia to visit family, and is caught in the war. She comes back to report what happened.
When she, and her aunt report that Georgian's started the war (and that Russians were helping the S. Ossetians) Fox News pulls some questionable censorship (e.g. they have to go to commercial, the delays start acting up and they are out of time).
Basically they blame the Georgian govt., and you can here the interviewer mumbling with producers in the background and all of a sudden they are cut off.
Again, from what I read: Georgians invaded S. Ossetia first. S. Ossetia has an oil pipeline that is considered very valuable. S. Ossetia broke away from Georgia in the early 1990s. Some 1500+ were killed by the Georgian's in S. Ossetia including 12+ Russian peacekeepers.
Russia responded disproportionally, and some people report they attacked civilians.
