RT anchor resigns on air

This RT anchor resigned on the air saying should could not longer be a party to Russian propaganda. She said her grandparents came to the United States during the Hungarian Revolution to escape Soviet occupation and she told viewers she decided she couldn't, in good conscience, continue to work for RT as it pimped for Putin.

Don't ever expect to see a network or cable anchor resign over a matter of principle. They are far too selfish for martyrdom. On the other hand I'm reminded of a Russian anchor who was fired for her on-air editorializing. I liked her too.
