Abby Martin works for RT now that is the
television station connected the kremlin so everybody suspects that
they might be having a pro-russian agenda on several different issues and
certainly on the issue ukraine
well happy wanna make clear that she was not on board for that and that is not
the case
so here's what she said and the one for programs before Robert the show I wanted
to say something from my heart about the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine in
russia's military occupation of command just because I work here
for Archie doesn't mean I don't have editorial independence
I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a
sovereign nations affairs
what russia did was wrong I really don't know as much as I should about ukraine's
history to corporal dynamics in the region but what I do know
that military intervention is never dancer
and I will not sit here and apologize or defend military aggression
for the mother coverage i've seen Ukraine has been truly disappointing
from all sides the media spectrum
right for this information above all my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people
for now web just pawns in the middle of a global power chess game
they're the real losers here all we can do now is hope for a peaceful outcome
for
terrible situation and prevent another full-blown cold war between multiple
superpowers
until then I'll keep telling the truth as I see it mario's ball I like that
now if I'm running RT even if I'm backed by the Kremlin I'mma let that slide
because you to cause more trouble if he does come out and do something
it together of the air or anything like that right not sure this direction they
went out first explain
we respect her views on the views evolve our journalists presenters and program
host
and there will be absolutely no reprimands made against miss martin a
great that sounds terrific
then they continue in her comments miss martin also noted that she does not
possess a deep knowledge of
reality the situation in Crimea as such
will be sending her to crimea to give her an opportunity
to make up your own mind from the epicenter of the story I read that I was
addicted kidding right
what I we've been checking all day try to reach RT to see if they're getting
through that they're not kid the thing you're sending her to crimea
I'm know she is allowed to express
any opinion she likes from side media
and the book at bay cheeses man that's a bad way to go
pay now but you don't know that this is something we checked in on
maybe Abby think that that's great hey look at me to recover the story from the
harder the story that make sense
apparently not Andy Martin tweeted
thanks for your article she's a friend to all the people who wrote about it but
I'm not going to crimea despite the same in RT is made
please update accordingly and if that wasn't clear enough
she later said despite what are he has said
officially I declined their offer to go to crimea
so apparently they weren't joking beirut but his senator gramm year
now how this story ends we don't know yet if artie was smart
they would certainly let this go and continue on
and my guess is at some point when that contract comes up
there's a get renewed we don't know we'll find out and by the way
let's be fair if RT really is on bias and doesn't mind at all
they'll renew our contract and everything will be fine and things will
be dandy thats
also possibility their initial reaction
doesn't seem to indicate that right any hearsay hey their propaganda
I hear you an RBC this is troubling right also remember that when
actually Banfield that a speech against the Iraq war
MSNBC which at the time was conservative and was trying to copy Fox News
entrada out right wing them literally took her off their
she asked to be taken oliver contract and he will let around amor con trick is
they didn't want her
on anybody's air then on top of that
they literally moved her office into a closet
so if parties do propaganda
they're not the only ones
