Polly Boiko, RT reporter. Is she GC?

At about 10.20 this morning I switched my tv to RT to watch Keiser Report, ostensibly led by Max Keiser, but the real brains belong to Stacy Herbert, his wife. The last segment of the RT News bulletin was by Polly Boiko, a London based reporter for at least the last 5 years.

I watched her report and laughed harder than at any Christmas special comedy so far this year. So I tried to find it on RT's website to no avail. Likewise on their youtube channel, even the section devoted to ms Boiko. There are other videos on the RT Youtube channel under her name with the hashtag Culture Wars, and oh my days they are funny. I would say that IMO she is GC, and she alludes to this at the end of one of her videos by saying "read the comments".

It's now 2023 so should be on again in a couple of minutes. Well worth a watch.

RT will put out one position one day and then the opposite the next in the hope of this stirring up dissent in the democracies that the Russian government opposes. RT will say anything to encourage polarisation and conflict on behalf of its paymaster. Although sometimes it says interesting things that the media in the West prefers to avert its gaze from, most of the time it doesn't really add much to balanced debate.

I think what is strange is that both RT and AJ cover European politics far better than either the BBC or Sky which are so US obsessed its quite possible to watch their "news" reports and think Europe is just asleep.

I try and watch both every now and again to remind me that Brexit or not we are still a European country not a distant state of the USA!

@SonEtLumiere

RT you say? What’s their editorial bias then?
I haven't got a clue. I only watch certain documentary strands nowadays. I'd guess they're the Russian version of BBC News, slanted towards their government. I get my TV news from France24, Aljazeera, NHK and CNN so my bias comes from four places.

Views are Polly's own, and probably don't reflect those of her TV station.
