I assume Breaking the Set is an opinion programme like Maddow or O'Reilly? Any channel carrying those kind of shows should lose the right to call themselves News channels, and presenters on news channels should keep their opinions to themselves.
Also her blather about her comments only being picked up because they fit the narrative - is she really that stupid? I also like how she opposes the idiocy of Glenn Greenwald (who I otherwise respect, but his ego seems to be growing rapidly since Snowden), who apparently in the same article asked if any American journalists publicly opposed the Irag war, and then listed journalists who got fired for "going off script over the Iraq war".

There are too many rules in our society that only prop up the establishment – an establishment that tries its hardest to divide and conquer the people. ‘Breaking the Set’ is a show that cuts through the pre-written narrative that tries to tell you what to think, and what to care about.
It's fair to say BTS is a left-wing skewed show, featuring guests such as activists, bloggers and other RT staff.
Tonight's Breaking the Set is a repeat due to the amount of interview requests for Abby Martin.
She's also mentioned on Twitter that she refused to go to Crimea without making her own contacts. She didn't want to be parachuted in by RT, presumably with some constructed scenes made for propaganda.
Liz Wahl's resignation has been six months in the making as she already had concerns after Moscow stopped some of her reporting going out on the channel, despite being based at their DC bureau.
"When a journalist disagrees with the editorial position of his or her organization, the usual course of action is to address those grievances with the editor, and, if they cannot be resolved, to quit like a professional."
"But when someone makes a big public show of a personal decision, it is nothing more than a self-promotional stunt,"
Reading that was rather cringeworthy - it read like something you'd see on a blog of an Occupy activist or something, rather than from an Editor in Chief of a "real" news organisation. Mind you, she is 33, and was made EiC at 25.
The fact she acts like RT is somehow completely untouched by the Russian government is a joke though, considering she's also Editor in Chief of Rossiya Segodnya which is the agency created when Putin shut down the previous news agency, RIA Novosti.
But hey, she hates seeing journalists being attacked. And I'm sure RTs coverage of the numerous murders of Russian journalists has been in-depth, right?
