Sputnik journalist resigns, cites "propaganda"


"Sputnik’s White House correspondent, Andrew Feinberg, has quit the Russian-state news organisation, claiming they would rather have “propagandists” than “real journalists”.

"In an interview with the Washington Post, Mr Feinberg specifically noted that he had issues with senior members of staff at Sputnik when they were keen on him working on a conspiracy story concerning the death of the Democratic National Committee aide Seth Rich."


So, Mr Hannity, seems you are allying yourself with old school Soviet style propagandists. Perhaps this is why your advertisers are bailing, and you are currently on "vacation".

To view Russia as an ally, and to view our allies with disdain. Religious leaders in the US are helping in this too, Reverand Graham has met with Putin and says Russian Christian values are in sync with American Christian values, and the Russians are only trying to protect the Christian minority in Syria.

(using their terminology )

Also wife beating is no longer a crime in Russia, I think. That's also an attractive Christian value, apparently.
