Now the Brits are apoligizing for Fox News' 'innocent' error...

In an apparently innocent yet embarrassing error, Fox News showed footage of riots in Athens rather than Moscow earlier this week showing protesters throwing Molotov cocktails, rocks and bottles.

Even though the shops pictured in the report clearly had Greek signage the American presenter said the pictures were actually taken in Moscow and showed anti-Kremlin protesters venting their anger at last weekend's allegedly rigged parliamentary elections.

The slip was swiftly spotted by Kremlin-backed media in Russia however who suggested it was part of a dark US-backed conspiracy theory to foment social unrest in Russia, mimicking an accusation made by Mr Putin, the prime minister, who has accused the US state department of orchestrating the protests.
