Why did you take the job in the first place? You had NO IDEA this is why that network was created? Good for you, but although you’ve got principles, you still aren’t that bright. But then again, what does that say about your former coworkers of American descent that are still there?

Her resume was likely just emailed to Al Jazeera. Four years from now, she’ll pull off her Jihab on camera, then quit on the air, saying she feels ‘so disillusioned and manipulated by her employers.’

Current issues aside, she is only NOW learning that Russia Today is a propaganda channel?

There are FReepers who don't know it, and even a couple who don't care.

lololol

I know, right. If she couldn’t be “part of a network that whitewashes the actions of Putin.”

Then I’d LOVE to see how she would handle being a paid shill for the Regime of Obamao.

Good for her. She hit Putin far harder than Obama has so far, and she is definitely more patriotic than he is.

I’d say she has the necessary credentials.,,,

However I can’t help but seeing the “Well, bye then” guy popping up on the screen right after she made that statement...

Did you see this one?

An American anchor on Russian state television has delivered an emotional rebuke of Moscow's intervention in Ukraine and criticised the media's biased news coverage.

Russia Today responded by saying it was sending Abby Martin to Crimea so she could learn more about the situation.

[]

Martin, responding on Twitter to coverage of her remarks and messages of support, said: "I am not going to Crimea despite the statement RT has made."

How about naming them so we can attack them personally?
