Abby Martin is an anchor for RT she made a bold and courageous
a moved other day and she said that she does not agree
with the Russian invasion above crimea she said
on-air on RT which is run by the Russian government
so I was very bold a and scan a lot of attention for that bro
and well-deserved so she went on Piers Morgan with
on CNN and had a discussion about this couple things she said Oh I thought were
right on and then I I love the ending on the reverse let's watch this clip first
I mean are you concerned about other parts of the programming
on RT America many believe that although you also may have
by time did independence a voice the a lot of the other programming
doesn't and has drifted in the last week into blatant propaganda
appears no different than every other corporate media session we were talking
about six corporations that control ninety percent of what Americans
see hear and read the lead-up to the Iraq war parroting exactly what this
government said I mean
you can reflect the exact same criticism on all the corporate media channels so
you know I can only speak for my show as they drew my moral compass but
our team toes a perspective on the russian foreign policy just so the
entire government apparatus pose a perspective on the US establishment
the reason I love the club is because at number one
she's not be hypocritical she say look RT does total line for
the russian perspective what you guys to line for the establishment in america
an issue proves that will fax she's she's right ninety percent Asus
corporations
control about 90 percent all the american media that amazing ass
basically an oligopoly
and almost all those corporations have enormous connections
to the US government for example Comcast which owns NBC and MSNBC
is about to do a merger with the second-largest cable operation time
warner cable
well they need government approval for that so
they scratch the government's back the government scratches they're back and
around and around they go oh and by the way they hire people that are in
government and they go back into government and go to
corporations governor all bingo she's totally right about them
I we see I worked on cable news and I'm very familiar with that and there's no
question
now I'm gonna give you one more perspective on that after what's the
next clip
because I like Pierce shocked reaction to this
but I think the real question that should be asked is why do I have to work
for our to tell the truth
about corporations and the US government I mean seriously you guys are beholden
to advertisers
at that you cannot criticize and that's why I work for station that I can crush
on volume
I dare say I'm from my memory and say well free to say what the headline water
no one's gonna be okay
I got criticized advertises or call Brenda denied that conversation is never
happened in the three years I've been aware CNN
fair enough there's but I think I think I love a lot of people deal with cell
phones are ship all across the media spectrum
well I certainly don't 41 of my problems I don't know maybe that was all your
problems fears and bio that is exactly how things work
if you do the right things meeting you told the line
you get promoted Henry Opt and et cetera
and if you don't you find yourself out the door I have no idea the relation
between Piers Morgan on CNN when he was or was not told
I do know that in cable news yes if your gonna go after one advertisers
as a major issue honestly I remember or
one segment where I had 1 I'll advertises for MSNBC
as a pointer criticism I in the same way that I was doing
and management called and said can you at least move them down
and it was their station and I am NOT proud of this at all
I N you know and obviously I stood up that's a manager in
I believe that I'm prove which side I was on
are in that issue but in that moment they said move it down
he doesn't happen yes it definitely happens now I kept it in the store
they want to take another story entirely I kept in the story but we moved from
the lead
to a little bit lower in the story where they sensitive to the advertisers
all forms of course they are
other beholden to them of course they are are they beholden to the parent
corporation
well that's who pays the bills of course they are and I they beholden to the
establishment
well I literally got a speech at MSNBC
a.m. as ABC saying that the establishment was not happy with my tone
literally that was said to me so yes
I mean Piers Morgan could be our race and maybe he's outraged because that's
his perspective
but I can guarantee you there's a lot of perspectives
in cable news where yes they tell you make sure you told the line
