A London-based correspondent for Russia Today resigned Friday over what she called the Kremlin-funded network’s “total disregard” of the facts surrounding Thursday’s Malaysia Airlines crash, saying RT is “spreading lies” for Vladimir Putin.

Sara Firth said in her resignation announcement that while she has respect for “many on the team,” she’s “for the truth.”

If you order the salad in the hotel restaurant, watch out for the polonium Russian dressing.

Russia Today Correspondent Abruptly Quits Over Malaysian Crash Coverage and Levies Levels Big Charge

Sheehs, hard to believe that that was, in fact, the title of the original article!

To levy a charge means to exact a charge - i.e., to charge money for something.

To level a charge, on the other hand, means to raise an accusation.

Regards,

I knew you’d take this hard and have to find a way to suggest she wasn’t acting in good faith. Only devious people and monsters criticize RT and Putin in your world.

You’re another one of these people who cannot stand to see RT or Putin exposed. Must be rough now that your hero is so despised and exposed for the vicious thug that he is. I wonder if you supported Putin when he was with the KGB propping up communism and the GULAG. I’m sure you would have done that.

The funny thing is RT often tells the truth about the Obama regime the lamestream here won’t tell. Obama is so bad they did not need to lie. I’m not surprised to find out they are lying when the truth itself hurts.

RT’s telling the truth about Obama is part of Russia’s calculation to separate the American people from their national leadership. As a conservative, I’m in opposition to Obama in principle. I don’t need RT or Putin’s propagandist to explain to me what is wrong with Obama or the real problems the US has. Their motives are cynical and Putin is a gangster statesman at best.
