Former Breitbart News reporter joins Russian propaganda news agency Sputnik
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/former-breitbart-news-reporter-joins-russian-propaganda-news-agency-sputnik/
Former Breitbart News investigative reporter Lee Stranahan is launching a radio show for Sputnik, a news organization owned and operated by the Russian government, the Atlantic reports.
Im on the Russian payroll now, when you work at Sputnik youre being paid by the Russians, Stranahan told the Atlantics Rosie Gray. Thats what it is. I dont have any qualms about it. Nothing about it really affects my position on stuff that Ive had for years now.
In a series of Twitter posts Wednesday, Stranahan promoted his new Sputnik radio show, a Crossfire-style debate show called Fault Lines with [Garland] Nixon and Stranahan. Stranahan promises the show, which launches Monday, will be original, provocative and entertaining.
As Gray reports, Stranahan quit Breitbart last month after he claimed he was prevented from covering the White House. He said the upside of working with Sputnik is the freedom that comes from working with a Russian propaganda network.

You are now in the same league as Comrade Trumpsky, although I think he will remain the top paid Russian propagandist.
