And I would put money on it, that a year from now she will have a nice job somewhere due to her performance for the neo cons.

She was working with some wacko right winger and they apparently planned it to try to make RT look bad.

Never saw her on RT, thankfully. Generally their reporters are actual journalists.

However it worked, for a while, with some who WANTED it to be true. Once it was revealed she was a plant at RT, they became silent rather than acknowledge the facts.

there are a lot of talented, aspiring "broadcast journalism" kids out there with attractive looks and far more talent. Her Fox background wouldn't seem to be a major plus, either.

is not my specialty, it could have been a set-up job as Pap & Seder refer.....Nepotism, favors owed - etc., etc. It was obviously not her journalism talent that got her the job.
