So what? What if Saakashvili controls all the media of Georgia? Where's the difference to Russia? Everyone knows that the Kremlin controls all the Russian media, including RT. If a pro-Russian government in Georgia would control all its media RT wouldn't make such a huss of it...

Everyone can know what they know, but everyone can also know that they don't know what everyone else knows, unless they are ignorant of the limitation of their knowledge. So be careful when you sit upon a small island, thinking you sit upon a vast continent. He who knows what he knows is a wise man, he who doesn't know what he knows is but a fool.

Great to see that RT has a sense of humour. Either that or this is a true illustration of hypocrisy knowing no bounds...

The "Rose Revolution" was brought to Georgia under the umbrella of American sponsorship and assistance. Advisors from the American government and NGOs (non-government organizations) flooded Georgia carrying Saakashvili on their shoulders as the "Savior of the Nation" who will "free" the Georgian people from Shevardnadze's control. The American advisors and political consultant put together a clever campaign to convince the Georgian people that if the would only vote for Mikhail Saakashvili, they will receive the "blessings" of democracy. One of the cornerstones of Saakashvili's campaign promises to the Georgian people was the establishment of a new media free from government interference and control. Ironically, this also was the first campaign promise that Saakashvili broke as soon as he was elected president. Saakashvili and his thugs have imposed an almost complete media blackout of any news critical of Saakashvili or his administration. Under Sevardnadze, Tbilisi and Kutaisi had some independent TV stations - now there are none. The only newspapers free of government control are a few tabloids sold in street kiosks. The political opposition to Saakashvili has been emasculated because they are denied access to media outlets. The situation is so bad under Saakashvili's government that opposing political parties can not even hold public rallies without Saakashvili's thugs breaking them up. My own friends in Georgia have warned me not to say anything negative about Saakashvili over the phone, because the phone lines are tapped. Saakashvili has also instituted a system of "street spies" who listen in on any suspicious conversation and report the people to the police. How ironic that America marketed the "Rose Revolution" to the Georgian people under the guise of bringing them "freedom", and now the Georgians have less "freedom" than they had under Shevardnadze.

I like how a state owned TV network like RT, that operates rom a country where there are only few privet channels left on the air (non of which have national reach), has a report of this nature, with a clear political bias. Good stuff. I really hope the people behind this reportage are only doing it for the money and don't actually believe any of it. :)

Maybe Saakashvili is listening to the kremlin after all. I have to wonder if this article was written with a straight face. RT is like the pravda of the new Russia lol

@ Kihnu, Everything you just said had NOTHING to do with this story...lol Maybe next time before you post your anti American comments you stop and actually view the vid or read the article....funny But ...I do agree with Nelson and Razkolnik..... When Russia doesn't like what a reporter is writing about her, she just make the reporter go away or they just disapear....
