female reporters who are actually INFORMED on the issues.

The Corporate Media has zero credibility.

Abby Martin's show is an opinion show, and if they thought they would use her to slam RT because she stated her opinion on Russia and Crimea, they have not been watching these great reporters who can actually say what they think on RT while they could not do so on the Corporate Media.

I'm sure she knew why they had her on, she's no fool. Good for her for letting them hear a little truth for a change. I doubt they'll have her back, she's no one's puppet.
