After Washington-based Liz Wahl announced to viewers she was handing in her resignation as the network "whitewashes the actions of Putin," Russia Today released a statement:
When a journalist disagrees with the editorial position of his or her organisation, the usual course of action is to address those grievances with the editor, and, if they cannot be resolved, to quit like a professional.
