Earlier, another RT on-air personality, Abby Martin, also denounced Putin's Ukraine policy on the air but was not fired and did not quit.
Later, she turned up on CNN debating Piers Morgan, he of the show about to be cancelled, about how fair and objective most American TV is. She was far better informed on that subject than this departing British host in assessing the US press, and on a network considered by some critics as an "American propaganda outlet."
On Google, a story from CNN on Wahl's farewell to RT carried Martin's picture, not hers. Oh well, details, details!
In an article about Martin in National Journal, Lucia Graves wrote, " While it's clear the network maintains a strong pro-Russian bias, Glenn Greenwald on Tuesday defended RT's coverage, saying it isn't so different from what we saw on American media outlets in the lead up to the Iraq War. "For all the self-celebrating American journalists and political commentators: Was there even a single U.S. television host who said anything comparable to this in the lead up to, or the early stages of, the U.S. invasion of Iraq?" he wrote.
Back to Mr. Kirchick's heroism in defense of democracy!
Watch the video of how he posed some of his "simple" questions to RT employees outside their office.
What
you see is a wise-guy provocateur harassing
people entering the building with hostile, if not nasty and self-righteous questions,
in an argumentative and aggressively hostile manner.
RT later challenged this image-building exercise of the "man who is not afraid of Putin" with a denial that they called the cops, an "update" that the Daily Beast tacked on to their story.
