Russia Today Website Targeted In Cyber Attacks
Site providing most accurate coverage of Georgia conflict
hit by wave of DDoS attacks

A major Russian media source that has provided key coverage of
the conflict in Georgia has claimed that its website has come
under a heavy bombardment of cyber attacks from an IP address
registered to the Georgian capital.
A statement from the Russia
Today website reads:
In the course of the last 24 hours RT’s
website (www.russiatoday.com) has endured numerous DDoS attacks,
which have made it unavailable for some time. Channel’s
security specialists say the initial attack was carried out
from an IP-address registered in the Georgian capital Tbilisi.
RT’s team apologizes for the inconvenience and gives a
list of comprehensive external resources on the Georgian-South
Ossetian conflict which can be used, should the attacks continue.
The news comes hours after the Georgian government claimed its
websites were
being attacked by the Russian military in a cyber
warfare campaign.
As we have highlighted
over the past two days, Russia Today has provided the most accurate
coverage of the conflict, while the truth behind who is primarily
responsible for the bloodshed unfolding in South Ossetia and surrounding
areas has been buried by the western corporate media.
While pro-western establishment media arms such as the BBC have
displayed exceptional bias in painting Russia as the villains
of the entire piece and have given carte blanche to the Georgian
point-of-view, Russia Today has accurately reflected the reality
that Georgia was responsible for the first provocation - which
itself amounted to a war crime - that launched the conflict.

Russia Today also broke the story we
covered this morning concerning CNN's attempts to
blatantly mislead viewers by airing footage of Georgian forces
attacking Russian civilians in Tskhinvali, the provincial capital
of South Ossetia, but then claiming it was footage of Russians
attacking Georgians in the Georgian town of Gori.
Russia Today has since maintained a balance in its coverage giving
perspectives from both the Georgian and South Ossetian sides,
while only a smattering
of articles
from western outlets have acknowledged the stone cold reality
that the U.S. and NATO are covertly supporting the Georgian army
in a proxy war with Russia.
Indeed, other Russian media outlets such as Izvestia
and Kommersant
have also reflected this, while our own corporate media continues
to rampantly spin and skew reality to the fit the geopolitical
agenda of our governments.
The brutal truth of the situation is that the Russian media,
for the last eight years subjected to extreme suppression and
limitation by Vladimir Putin's nationalist government, is still
more accurate, truthful and balanced than American, British and
European media.
Meanwhile, it has been left to Iranian news site Press
TV to report that Georgian troops are still attempting
provocations against Russian forces, leading to further Russian
bombardments despite this morning's announcement of an end to
military operations by the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
