Fox News puts on 12-year-old Georgian girl to talk about Russian bombing. Turns out,
she's Ossetian. And she thanks the Russian troops for protecting them from Georgia. And her mother starts talking about Georgian atrocities against their people. And so Fox News cuts them off. It's always lovely when corporate news accidentally lets a bit of truth through, isn't it?

2. Fox treated them fairly.
And didn't in any way "cut them off".


Commercial breaks are scheduled events. The host went out of his way to give the Aunt ALL of the remaining time after the break.

5. I'm amazed Fox let them on, and let them speak.
Grey areas. Wow.
