Liz Wahl is fighting an online war against Abby Martin after she claims a white supremacist who shot people at a Jewish community centre is a fan of Abby Martin's Breaking the Set.





Abby has retaliated on Facebook.

Quote:
Wow, sad little vapid Liz Wahl is now trying to link me to the JCC shooter. What a desperate hack.
Her entire existence now centers around obsessing about me as she becomes more desperate by the day to remain relevant.

Anissa did say initially it'd launch at 7pm UK time today, however they had the news with Matt Trezza instead. The EPG, nor the website has been updated to say when it's on.

The last time I saw the trailer last night on RT Intl gave a vague 'Spring 2014' launch.

Maintenance work on RT tonight and overnight.

How often does this happen? I remember that they're was one on the day of Thatcher's funeral.

What do they actually do during this work? Because I never actually see BBC, Sky, Aljazeera, BBC World do any 'maintenance work' causing them to go off air for half the day?!

It seems RT Russia is also off air from 00:00 to 10:00 local time. Also Spanish & arabic editions.

However, the BBC certainly do maintenance on the studio, for example BBC World News decamping to N9 in the past (when in NCool, now using Studio B at some weekends.

Similarly Sky news probably use the westminster studio whilst maintenance is underway.
