That would be RT's Graham Phillips, as conveyed by his own Twitter page:

Either this guy has gone totally ideological and thrown all sense of impartiality out the window, or he's just incredibly, incredibly stupid.

Having seen his past instances of "reporting", however, I would suspect the latter.

1. Looks like a little boy playing dress-up. What a dork.

[11 Bravo]

14. Definitely the last kid picked for the kickball team.

[MADem]

2. Why should anyone be shocked--it's the propaganda arm of Putin, after all.

That kid's a freaking idiot, though--as his followers told him in short order...

[Octafish]

3. No kidding.

Can't tell who's side reporters are on these days.

4. What makes Phillips an exceptionally fascinating case:

He's a Brit, working for Russian state media, who for whatever reason felt it wise to don the uniform of pro-Russian paramilitary in a separatist warzone.

He's also a huge idiot, which I think pretty much explains it all.

9. Don't follow his career. Do know RT broadcasts people I do follow.

William K. Black, for instance:

[Xithras]

6. Never mind...

I told myself I'd stay out of these threads...

8. They look like US military surplus woodland BDU's.

7. That helmet is bitchin

What's it made out of, dirty bandages?

[Brickbat]

10. .

[Bosonic]

11. I'm continually amazed at how he can look gormless in any situation

He's the embedded Mr Bean

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Apparently, on his blog he fashions himself as something of a sex expert.

And with singing and dancing skills like these, who wouldn't want a piece of that?

13. In addition, his Russian is awful.
