The epic Israel-hating scumbag Max Blumenthal posted a huge write-up to the communist rag Truthdig:
Wow. @MaxBlumenthal and @Truthdig reveal Neocons staged Liz Wahl's onair resignation from RT. http://t.co/aGIYllHDEQ

And hilariously Russia Today's picked it up and pumped the "neocon conspiracy" meme during its programming.
Hey, no doubt dreaded neocons are pushing for a bombing run on Moscow! World War III! We're on our way to a new clear day!
Meanwhile, left-wing whackjob Kevin Gosztola's been hassling Ms. Wahl on Twitter, even at one point misrepresenting himself as a reporter for Glenn Greenwald's First Look startup.
@kgosztola It's really sad when someone lies about their employment demanding answers. Please stop harassing me.

In any case, secure your tinfoil hat because there's more on this, from Dave Weigel, at Slate, "Your Guide to the Developing and Hilarious War Between RT and Neocons":
Yesterday afternoon I belately sat down with Liz Wahl, the former RT reporter who resigned on the air in protest of the Crimean incursion. We happened to meet up right after the left-leaning site TruthDig ran a piece that connected a bunch of facts that had never been concealed—for example, that the Foreign Policy Initiative was founded by Bill Kristol, and that Wahl's champion James Kirchick worked for it—so Wahl and I ended up talking about that.Oh that is juicy. Keep reading! The suspense is excruciating!
A few readers have informed me that this controversy was impenetrable. Let me explain, because it's a deeply strange story and I'd hate for you to miss out.
And bonus! Here's even more lulz from Daniel Greenfield, at Frontpage Magazine, "Max Blumenthal Now Shilling for Putin":
Max Blumenthal, a creepy fellow you may know as Clinton aide Sid Blumenthal’s son who caught some public attention for writing a book that even critics of Israel referred to as a selection of the Hamas Book of the Month Club, is going Full Greenwald.Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to head down for a supply check in my underground bomb shelter, lol.
After an anchorwoman for Putin’s RT propaganda network resigned, Max Blumenthal wrote up an “expose” claiming that “Cold War-Hungry Neocons” were behind it.
By “Cold War-Hungry Neocons”, Blumenthal means James Kirchik, a gay writer for the Daily Beast who was around 9 when the USSR fell.
Apparently a “cadre of neoconservatives” hungry for Cold War and Hot Dogs targeted a propaganda news network that 99 percent of its viewers only encounter while searching for dashcam accidents on YouTube…. “to deepen tensions with Russia.”
Forget invading Crimea. The real tension deepening comes from an on-air resignation.
