TV presenter working for the Kremlin-funded broadcaster Russia Today (RT) has denounced as "wrong" her country's "military intervention" in Ukraine.
"I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation's affairs," Abby Martin declared in her news programme. "Just because I work here doesn't mean I don't have editorial independence. What Russia did was wrong." She added. "I will not sit here and apologise for, or defend, military aggression," she went on to say press coverage of the Ukrainian crisis was "rife with disinformation" and "disappointing from all sides of the media spectrum".
SOYMB would be very interested if anyone can direct us to a BBC news presenter who expressed similar sentiments on air during the Iraq war about the British role and the BBC's reporting in that illegal war?
