Abby is introduced by Lee Artz, professor of media studies, Purdue University Northwest. She speaks about her experience at RT and press freedom; reporting from Palestine and covering Venezuela. She explains the rational for her current show "Empire Files" and why her reporting on conditions in the United States has resulted in characterization of her journalism as a threat to national security by the same interests who lied the U.S. into war against Iraq.
