Falsely claiming that Russians had flattened Gori by showing pictures of the aftermath of the shelling by Georgian Troops of Tskhinvali. The Sky Clip is preceded by a road sign that shows Gori and the Presenter says he is reporting from their BUT the footage is clearly the same footage that was shown two days previously in a report about TskhinvaliSky New lies giving ruins of South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, for Georgia's key town of Gori, which they say Russian bombed. The channel simply used the footage of Tskhinvali, which was literally ruined as a result of Georgia's attacks, to make reports about the situation in the town of Gori, which the Russian aviation supposedly bombed. On Wednesday, Sky News made a report about Russian tanks supposedly advancing towards Georgia's Gori (the information was subsequently rebutted). The company aired the footage, which showed that the small town had been destroyed. Georgian authorities and Western media outlets previously said that the Russian aviation had bombed Gori, which led to numerous casualties. Russia strongly rejected those statements. The footage aired by the British TV channel was preceded with a picture of a road sign displaying the name of the town -- Gori -- written in Georgian and English languages. The report also said that a Sky News correspondent was reporting from the Georgian town. Russia 's TV channel Zvezda, which has five camera crews working in Tskhinvali, aired the same footage two days before, on Monday. Sky News showed its report with no sound, whereas the people showed in the Russian report could be heard speaking Russian and Ossetian languages. The crying people shown in the report were heard cursing Georgian President Saakashvili for destructions and manslaughter.
