I thank you for the link and I appreciate her candor. That's hard to find anymore. It's at the very least a different angle than the "corporate media" from Russia, or the "corporate media" based in various Western nations whom she excoriates in her talk. (Given my experiences with the media, I like to see the major media take a shot to the chops given how often they simply get it wrong, be it matters of aviation or military).
