An Inside Report on the Charge By Max Keiser That RT Reporter Defection Was Staged American Propaganda

As a follow up to my post, Max Keiser: RT Reporter Staged Defection Is American Propaganda, I checked in with a former RTTV America employee.

The employee emails me:

Bob,

I know nothing of Max Keiser being approached by VoA, but would not be surprised.  I know most of this account of Liz Wahl's on-air resignation to be true:

I personally know some of the sources quoted in the story.  Also, I clearly remember the day when she was kicked off the anchor desk, as you could hear her yelling across the office (through the news director's door).  She spent the latter half of 2013 and early 2014 as a correspondent.  Within a few days of her being allowed to anchor again, she resigned on air.  Clearly, it was calculated.  However, my knowledge of the VoA connection comes second hand from other RTTV employees who knew her better than I did.
