News censoring in the US

In US, I saw another type of censoring. Not censoring for 'harmony' or 'good of the country,' but censoring what people do not understand, or is incoherent with what people already understood. In this event, CNN censored the entire interview with Putin regarding the events in Georgia. Contrary to previous reporting, and American image of a good-evil world, Georgia's relationship with Russia may be more complex then you think. Perhaps CNN felt that the sympathetic genes of Americans should not be activated to avoid complications.

See the actual interviews from Russia TV with English subtitles:
