    Russia Today, Fox News, what's the difference? One spits out state-sponsored bullshit, the other spits out corporate-sponsored bullshit.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Why would she quit from a job telling lies to take up another job telling slightly different lies?

    She isn't as much pro American but Anti-Putin.

    This whole thing just screams publicity stunt to me. She wants a better higher paying job and found the goose to lay the golden egg for her.

    Or she has journalistic integrity?

    RT is a decent site. I like thier op edge stuff and they have some decent shows, obviously take it with a pinch of salt.

    Good on her.

    Then why work for a state sponsored agency at all? Was she that naive?

    Who the fuck is Poo in? And what does her partner working in a military hospital have anything to do with what Russia is doing? At my last look, the only people wanting a fight between Russia and the USA right now is a bunch of idiots on the internet. Not a drop of blood has been spilled from an American & Russian battle so far.

    Yeah she seemed happy to work there until now. I think she's gunning for a better offer.

    There are very good state sponsored agency's around the world that respect the deontological code of journalism, so I don't get what you're going at.

    Yeah, but she works at a very specific one. One sponsored by a country that has reputably very poor Freedom of the Press. So she is very ignorant at best.

    Not sure if it's just me, but I swear everyone says Putin's name differently.

    In Canada we call him poutine and cover him with cheese and gravy.

    But seriously, OP. Why the fuck would an anti-Putin anchor go work for a bunch of right wing, warmongering blowhards? That's absurd.
