Fox News cuts American child for thanking Russian troops
A 12-year-old American girl visiting relatives during the conflict in South Ossetia has thanked Russian soldiers for saving her from the Georgian attack. However, America’s Fox News attempted to cut her and her aunt off air.

Amanda Kokoeva was in a cafe in Tskhinvali when the firing from Georgian troops began.

She managed to get back to her uncle's basement where she spent the night. In a lull, she then managed to flee across the border to Russia, before boarding a plane bound for San Francisco.

"I want to say that I was running from Georgian troops bombing the city,” she told America’s Fox News Channel. “I want to say thank you to the Russian troops that were helping us out."

After that her aunt started saying that it was Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili who is to be blamed for the bloodshed, but the presenter tried to cut her off and go to a commercial break. Still, he finally let the woman finish the phrase at least.

Moscow has already called the incident a violation of the journalistic ethics.

Doesn't Moscow know that Fox noise has no ethics?

1. Has that FOX reporter been fired yet, for not prepping his subject?

2. Are you sure Moscow wasn't being sarcastic?
Russians have a highly developed sense of humor.

3. How could Faux News possibly violate journalistic ethics?
They not only have no ethics, they also have no journalism.

who work for the I.R.S. too.

Still, accusing Fox of unethical behaviour is rich.
