Konstantin Goldenzweig resigned from the Kremlin-backed NTV channel
Renowned Russian journalist Konstantin Goldenzweig has resigned from state-funded TV channel 'NTV' after becoming disenchanted with the Kremlin's misinformation campaign. He announced the move through Facebook on June 9, TJ reports.
"I want to thank all my colleagues who helped me, taught me, encouraged me and were my friends. And continue to be my friends. And sorry for taking part in this propaganda madness. There is only one banal conclusion: the deals with your own conscience are only as good as those you can cancel" - Goldenzweig wrote.

Which one? ;)
Kudos to him. I hope he had the item posted while he and his family were at a secure location in, say, Switzerland.
>> You don’t see the irony of “Propaganda Madness” from Ukraine Today?
lol
I’m sure UT is fair and balanced in their coverage of All Things Ukraine.
I doubt it. They probably need every cent they can weasel.
A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

“Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”...”
They do this only as an attempt to pull in folks from the anti-Obama crowd. A clever/sneaky way to add credibility to their pro-Russia, pro-Putin BS. Yet it seems to work on some of us! In reality, Obama is the best thing that has happened to Russia in quite some time.
Ask me again, when the Russians call off their invasion and threatening to destroy the United States and the free world.
Are you disputing any facts here? The guy quit and gave a statement as to why. This website translated it into English. Would you prefer I link the original Russian? Can do. No problemo, FRiend.
Apparently, Ukrainians aren’t even allowed defend themselves against the massive Russian info war by translating stuff like this into English.
Now just wait until we see resignations from ABCNNBCBS...
That's exactly what I would say if I were one of Putin's trolls.
Apparently, they can’t have contempt for both Obama AND Putin....so they choose the KGB thug.
Meanwhile, Obama has been bending over backwards appeasing Putin on missile defense, nukes, Iran...
A step in the right direction.
That’s the point I always try to make to these putinistas. Yet they’re so ignorant of what are and what are not conservative values that it’s futile.
No one in our Ministry Of Propaganda has enough integrity to resign. They are all true believers.
