'Russia Today' Anchor Quits On Air Over Putin 'Whitewash'
An anchor with the Russia-sponsored U.S. network RT — or "Russia Today" — dramatically quit on the air Wednesday afternoon, saying the Kremlin-funded television network "whitewashes" the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Liz Wahl, who works out of the network's Washington, D.C. offices, began her televised resignation by referencing co-worker Abby Martin, who made headlines by denouncing Russian intervention in Ukraine earlier this week.
"Indeed as a reporter on this network I face many moral and ethical challenges," Wahl said.
She said that her grandparents came to the United States during the Hungarian Revolution to escape Soviet forces, and she feels lucky to have grown up in America.
"I'm the daughter of a veteran," she continued. "My partner is a physician at a military base where he sees every day the first-hand accounts of the ultimate prices that people pay for this country.
"That is why personally I cannot be part of [a] network funded by the Russian government that whitewashes the actions of Putin," she said.
"I'm proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth. And that is why after this newscast I am resigning."
