Washington (AFP) - US diplomat Jen Psaki hit back Tuesday at Russia's "propaganda machine," accusing it of being behind a series of Internet slurs mocking her for stumbling over her words.
As spokeswoman for Secretary of State John Kerry, Psaki runs the gauntlet of the world's media in her daily briefings, when she is quizzed on US foreign policy in the full glare of the cameras.
But her regular criticism of Moscow's role in the crisis in Ukraine has turned her into an easy target of Russian media and bloggers, who have launched a series of attacks on Twitter and YouTube.
The attacks have been led by the Russian state-run television network RT, whose reporters have had a couple of run-ins with Psaki during the briefings, which put together a slide show called: "Jen Psaki's most embarrassing fails."
That was followed by another Russian TV show which poked fun at what it called "Psaking... when someone makes a dogmatic statement about something they don't understand, mixes facts up and then doesn't apologize."
But Psaki hit back Tuesday, saying the attacks on her were "sexist" and adding "many people know that there are efforts by the Kremlin and the propaganda machine to discredit a range of officials, including recently myself, as silly as that is, because the United States supports a strong, democratic Ukraine."
"So if I get dinged a bit for that, I'm not going to sweat it. I will take it as a badge of honor."
Psaki's boss, Kerry, also stood up for her on Sunday, tweeting "always proud of @statdeptspox; she deals in facts #attacksareabadgeofhonor."

LOLOL!!!
She’s picking a fight with Russia? What happened to professionalism? And Kerry continues to, as expected, disappoint.
If John F’n Kerry has your back you’re in trouble honey,
My monies on the Reds.
PS: A lot of Americans work for RT including Daily Kos’ Moulatakis (sp). How do you say “media traitors” in Russian?
As FReeper dead once posted, this country is being run by a bunch of stupid teenagers.
The Russian media is making good use of social media to get their position known.
Just because she was a well known window licker on the short bus is no reason for Putin to be nasty to her.
You're betting on the Obama administration?
Obama regime. Putin regime. As Hillary would ask, “What is the difference”?
Don’t the Russkies realize her boss fought in Vietnam?
None:
They're both defenders of Christianity and consider their country a Christian one - both calling for world leaders to stop the slaughtering of Christians in muzzie countries
Both telling gays they are free to live their life style - privately - but will NOT parade in the street, will NOT teach it in schools and will NOT adopt their countries children///
They both love their country
They both hate the muzzie terrorists - and
Oh no, wait - that's only Putin
ahahahaha
She's even worse than Psaki. Stupider and talks semi-Valley Girl. An embarrassment.
John Kerry, unlike Gilligan and all the rest, he really was on a three hour tour!
All this tweeting hashtag crap is just so juvenile. Geesh- be a big girl. She’s way out of her league. BO can really pick em
She gets no respect because there is no respect for the people she works for—kerry and obama.
