great story! Occupy 'graduate' and RT journalist Abby Martin exposes NPR hypocrisy

[ellenrr]

This morning on WNYC's "On the Media", Bob Garfield interviews Abby Martin. (link below). She is the one who denounced Russian actions in Crimea on Russia Today tv.

So Garfield refers to RT as "widely regarded as a propaganda machine to polish Russia's image abroad". Widely regarded by who, Bob? by NPR reporters?

He says to her, "You do after all work for a Kremlin-funded channel".

Abby: "You're working on a network that accepts money from oil companies, and that omits information on the oil spill in the Gulf."

ZAP!

Bob: "Just so you know, there is no self-censorship on this side of the microphone."

Abby: Laughs loudly.

later, Abby: "You guys are doing the same thing, as are all journalists who accept money from questionable sources.
[me- she should have mentioned Koch brothers who I think give money to NPR]
You should really ask:
Why do I have to work for RT in order to tell the truth about the US establishment?"

ZAP!
