She calls like she sees it and doesn't bend the knee for ANYBODY. I'm surprised she's lasted this long on a network. MSNBC would have fired her ages ago.


BTW: Thanks for posting. I'm on piece-of-shit, can't-wait-to-get-out-of-my-contract Verizon Fios, and they dropped RT this week.

Congrats on getting close to dumping their ass!

-when I saw how my internet service suddenly started sucking. I hate how unresponsive the TV remote is, and the way I get an advertisement for some premium channel popping up when I want the guide. Plus they give money to fascists. I'm just glad I don't have the Big brother camera on my cable box. Fuck Verizon. Only Republicans should be allowed to use them.

I would have wondered what was going to happen to her and feel thankful that I am an American with 1st amendment rights.

I still worry what may happen to her but I no longer believe that our MSM "journalists" have it any easier (freedom)
when they speak their mind.
At least(?) "our" MSM thoroughly vets their employees and the possibility that they may step over the line is small.

IOW, America has moved much closer to third world status while other countries have mostly relaxed their censorship.
There are exceptions, most countries with these exceptions are "our" friends and trading partners.

Yes, we've seen American journalists lose their jobs (though mostly for using poor taste, not particularly for espousing a serious position). Losing a job happens in all fields, and for many reasons, deserved and undeserved.

In Russia it's been a bit different: 80 journalists have been killed in Russia since 1992. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 56 of the murders have a known motive, and in 24 the motive is unknown. We're not talking war correspondents getting killed in the fog of war. We're talking murders. So that's a pretty big difference.

I'm not saying it's the state that's involved, at all. But it is well known that violence against reporters has been a consistent problem in Russia for a number of years, and it has led to many reporters censoring themselves. When your job is at stake it's one thing. When your life is at stake it's another.

Of course, she's on RT America, and broadcasting from America, where she doesn't have to worry about being assassinated. At least not by Russians. Of course, I guarantee you she couldn't say the sort of things she says about Israel on any other network, and I'm sure AIPAC would love to see her living under a bridge somewhere...

any military intervention is wrong but she also states she knows little of the history or the cultural dynamics of the region.

I like her show, and yes RT has an editorial line. It was also the only MSM that extensively covered the March against Monsanto.

Let's argue semantics.

An American history professor at my college, after class, was talking about the Am. Revolution. He was irritated that Americans didn't seem to realize British soldiers were shot down in ambushes. He called it murder because it was the planned execution of another human being.He asked the question: "If it was OK then,is it OK now to kill anyone in the govt. because you disagree?", being that British soldiers represented the govt. at that time. He said that the U.S. needed to STFU(my phrase) about any revolt in any other country.

Taking his point,all the freedom we have is based on murder of others. The British killing does not clean the slate of the American Revolutionaries.
Oh! We would never call Am.Revs.,terrorist, they can only be Patriots.lol

Abby,
All the freedom you have is based on killing & you would & are welcome to not call it military intervention by rebels,I mean Patriots, when it happened in the colonies,if you choose.
