How can a TV station be used to spread unnecessary panic about a fake invasion?

I mean, not even ABCNNBCBS would do this even though they're gubmint mouthpieces, but Imedi TV of Georgia (the former Soviet republic) would create and broadcast a 'fake' invasion to bolster public opinion against Saakashvili.

A classic example of how not to go after your political opponents. Sounds like this backfired in the extreme.

They would have been a lot better off hiring whoever did the latest Boxer Blimp ad and making something similar about the sell-out bwitch going to Moscow to pal around with dictators (if that’s what she indeed did).

For a minute there Jimmuh Cart-DUH was panicking. Someone had to tell him that there was a Country Called Georgia to calm him down.

Would that be like flying a low flying jumbo jet over the top of New York?

Oh wait, Obama did that.
