'Russia Today' anchor Liz Wahl quits live on air over Vladimir Putin’s military action in Crimea

[1awake]

Wahl said she faces several 'ethical and moral challenges' as a reporter for the Russian-funded TV network. 'I’m proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth, and that is why, after this newscast, I’m resigning," she said.

1. That takes so much guts

I have quit jobs because of principal, it is a fingernail biting process.
Good on her.

3. That was badass...But for this thread, I predict either

It will drop after a few more replies as the Pro-RT "Woo Hoo anti-corp Channel!" people won't show up

or

She will be attacked/slighted/maligned


I guess we shall see----

4. Thank you, Liz Wahl

Wahl explained that her personal background informed her decision: her grandparents fled from the Soviets during the Hungarian revolution, her father was a U.S. veteran, and her partner is a physician on a U.S. military base, where he sees “the ultimate prices that people pay for this country.” RT is not about the truth," Wahl said. "It's about promoting a Putinist agenda. It's also about bashing America."
