Hoax broadcast causes panic in Georgia (not the American one)
Panic gripped Georgia after a pro-government television station broadcast a fake report that Russian tanks had entered the capital Tbilisi.
The fake report, which was broadcast on Saturday by the pro-government station Imedi TV, said that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili had been killed in the Russian invasion.
Imedi TV later stated that the aim of the broadcast was to show the "real threat" of how events may unfold. Imedi used archive pictures from the 2008 war that showed advancing Russian tanks.
i saw this on the news the other night... it was dumb, but kind of humorous.
showing what the "worst day imaginable for the georgian people would be"
