Here is a clip from Fox News i found at Freaknomics. An interview with a 12-year-old American who, along with her aunt, was in South Ossetia when the fighting broke out in Georgia. Both are supporters of the Russians and blame everything on the Georgian government.
In the next clip we seee the Russian TV version.
Russians journalist say how "American media is engaging in information warfare against Russia". They provide an example of [how] one American interview went wrong. The voice-over in Russian makes it seem as if — when the aunt starts blaming Georgia — the interviewer starts coughing loudly to cover her comments, becomes extremely rude, and cuts her off without giving her a chance to continue.
As we can tell by watching the original clip all of this is completely fabricated.
The Kremlin seized upon the interview as evidence that the United States was censoring criticism of Mr. Saakashvili. A Russian anchor said the guests’ treatment indicated that the United States would use “any means available” for a disinformation campaign against Russia

NYT pointed out that the man who dubs Mr. Smith’s voice in Russian not only exaggerates the anchor’s tone, but even coughs and groans loudly when Ms. Tedeeva-Korewicki blames Mr. Saakashvili for causing the conflict — something that did not happen in the original.
