The Alyona show

Post by mr friendly guy »

Has anyone heard of this show. I have seen clips of it from youtube.

Its obvious Russian televisions look at American current events, so its predominantly focussed in on America (so don't expect criticism of Putin). It reminds me of the Young Turks.



Has anyone else seen this show, and what do you guys think of it?

I watch it every day. It's a feistier, trashier version of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, with a much cuter host:

Haven't seen Olberman's show so I can't comment on that. But hell yeah, Alyona is stunning. She also smart when she deals with the Al Jazeera criticism of her and rips it apart using the same methods, and then explaining why the methods are bullshit. Its in the video I linked.

My brother first told me about her show (although I've been watching RT for a while), love her commentary... :D

Well I have just subscribed to her youtube channel so it seems they update you of new clips including whole episodes from her shows.

I think its too slow paced. It could have been cut by half and still said as much.

She is, in my opinion, a bit too supportive of Ron Paul. In spite of that, it is still a good show.
