An RT reporter gave her opinion on air regarding the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine from her show's Washington studio. Abby Martin tells viewers that 'I admittedly don't know as much as I should about Ukraine's history or the cultural dynamics of the region, but what I do know is that military intervention is never the answer.
'And I will not sit here and apologize or defend military aggression.'
In case you do not know, 'RT' stands for 'Russia Today'....
No apology needed. In a statement obtained by the Daily Mail, RT said: 'Contrary to the popular opinion, RT doesn’t beat its journalists into submission, and they are free to express their own opinions, not just in private but on the air.
'This is the case with Abby’s commentary on the Ukraine.
'We respect her views, and the views of all our journalists, presenters and program hosts, and there will be absolutely no reprimands made against Ms. Martin.
'In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea.
'As such we’ll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story.'
Not sure if they are just attempting some humor or if they are really going to banish Ms. Martin to the Ukraine...only time will tell.
