Liz Wahl was a reporter for Russia Today, a state funded network, who quit live on air because the network used propaganda to support Putins' actions. It has been reported that there is millions of dollars put into the network from Russia, in order to help push their political agenda. Liz Wahl has been praised as a hero for standing up and quitting, because she refused to push his agenda and because she stated she is proud to be an American and refuse to support an anti-American reports.
I want to relate this How the New Media Shape Political Campaigns, Russia Today is funded to give the Russian point of view and the network is actually established there is be a lap dog. I do think is a great the Liz stood up against the propaganda, but the same time the network established to push forward a Russian point of view. I think more effective was her ex co-worker Abby Martin who spoke out against the Russian government in her segment, and stated the military intervention isn't correct in the Ukraine. She spoke out with her point of view, making her a watch dog, but still reported the new with no bias.
