Marsha Gessen is not allowed on my TV any longer (like Miller, Kellyanne...)

A few months ago I heard her speaking with Jake Tapper and a red flag went up. She was supposed to be objective but she was later spotted by a fellow DUer as a pro-Russian troll.

She is an American-Russian journalist.

1. 'spotted by a fellow DUer?'

'Maria Alexandrovna "Masha" Gessen (Russian: Мари́я Алекса́ндровна Ге́ссен; IPA: [maˈrʲijə ɐlʲɪkˈsandrəvnəˈɡʲesʲɪn]; born 13 January 1967), is a Russian and American journalist, author, translator[2][3] and activist who has been an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.[4]

Gessen helped found the Pink Triangle Campaign and has written extensively on LGBT rights. Described as "Russia's leading LGBT rights activist,"[5] she has said that for many years she was "probably the only publicly out gay person in the whole country."[6]

Gessen writes primarily in English but also in her native Russian, and in addition to being the author of several non-fiction books, she has been a prolific contributor to such publications as The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New Republic, New Statesman, Granta, Slate, Vanity Fair, Harper's Magazine, and U.S. News & World Report.

Gessen is the Russian translator of the TV show The Americans.'
