Thom Hartmann meltdown: "I'm trapped on RT because they pay the bills. Did I sell my soul?" [View all]



...I was just going to tell you about FOX News when I realized my show appears on a network just as bad as FOX. Now I realize what happens when you get in bed with dictatorships like Russia, I mean, my God, Russia Today is like FOX plus The Onion, except we know we're supposed to laugh at The Onion. Oh God, Putin has closed down the free press and has pretty much wrecked democracy in Russia, but I'm trapped on RT because they pay the bills. Oh my god, did I sell my soul. Why did I let my manager talk me into this. First Liz Wahl quits, now Sarah Firth quits and says "Every single day we’re lying and finding sexier ways to do it” and now I'm supposed to slam FOX? I'm getting soooo drunk this weekend, I swear. And not on the free vodka, either!
