In this insane and libelous clip, @cenkuygur & @AnaKasparian say that I am "paid by the Russians" (Cenk); "seem to be working for" dictators (Ana); and deny chemical attacks on Syrian children (Ana). I don't care about their disdain for me, but I do care about being smeared.
The only state I've worked for is Qatar, as an Al Jazeera producer. I've never worked for or been by paid Russia (or any "the Russians"), or any other state.
BTW, when it comes to paid shilling for "disgusting" people who kill children, @AnaKasparian doesn't need to look far:

Re: chemical attacks, I've covered one of the biggest pro-war deceptions since Iraq: the staged incident in Douma, & the OPCW cover-up scandal that exposed it. Doing Trump's bidding, "journalists" like @cenkuygur & @AnaKasparian have completely ignored it. thenation.com/article/world/…
When @cenkuygur opens by saying "Aaron Maté yelled at me", I think that he is referring to this tweet from me below.
You can judge for yourself if this constitutes "yelling" on my part, and worth the freakout from Cenk-@AnaKasparian that ensued:

.@cenkuygur and @AnaKasparian are free to have their strong feelings about me (and act them out on TV). But they're not entitled to lie about me with claims that I am paid by Russia and dictators, and that I deny chemical attacks on children. That's McCarthyite trash, & libelous.
