“In order to succeed there you don’t question,” Wahl told The Daily Beast. “It’s not a sound news organization, not when your agenda is making America look bad.”
Russia Today anchor Liz Wahl resigned on air Wednesday saying that she could no longer be part of a network that “whitewashes the actions of Putin.”
“Personally I cannot be part of a network funded by the Russian government that whitewashes the actions of Putin,” Wahl, a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent for Russia Today, said. “I’m proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth and that is why after this newscast I’m resigning.”
Wahl also referenced her grandparents, who she had tweeted about earlier, during her comments:
Just spoke to grandparents who came to US as refugees escaping Soviets during Hungarian revolution. Amazing to hear amid new Cold War fears
