When It suit the need of USA military complex Russia is bad and in same time use this anchor to represent alternative media as bad. then videos like this appear on NSA program called YouTube. But when RT talks about mercury in vaccines or Obama tyranny then don't expect to see publicity or support at all.
USA and Russia are not Innocent on any side. They all got fingers in Ukraine but when you compare Russia with American industrial complex it is like you compare street thug with some butcher who cuts people in the basement.
Russia Today News anchor Liz Wahl resigns quits on Live TV For Russian Invasion to Ukraine! Russia Today News anchor resigns quits on Live TV For Russian Invasion to Ukraine! Russia Today anchor resigns on-air Anchor quits: I can't be part of network 'that whitewashes' Putin's actions Another member of state-funded Russia Today made waves on Wednesday -- not by standing behind Moscow, as the news network is wont to do, but by bucking it.
From the anchor chair, Liz Wahl closed a show -- as seen in video which she later tweeted -- talking about the "ethical and moral challenges" she faces working for Russia Today, also known as RT. She spoke of being from a family who fled to America to escape Soviet forces during the 1956 Hungarian revolution, being the daughter of a U.S. military veteran and being the partner of a physician who works at a U.S. military base.
"And that is why, personally, I cannot be part of a network funded by the Russian government that whitewashes the actions of Putin," Wahl said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I'm proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth," she added. "And that is why, after this newscast, I'm resigning."
Not that she would've necessarily lasted much longer, after her comments. In a statement, RT said, "When a journalist disagrees with the editorial position of his or her organization, the usual course of action is to address those grievances with the editor, and, if they cannot be resolved, to quit like a professional."
