The YouTube video-hosting site and app have stopped being accessible across Russia, thousands of Internet users in the country said online on August 8.
RT and RFE/RF are state media, but there is a difference. The former does not enjoy freedom and the latter does because of its firewall that prevents political interference.
Although the Trump administration tried to remove firewalls and introduce its inference that could have been harmful during that period.
I think you mean it’s designed to prevent partisan interference. RFE/RL’s purpose is to support US foreign policy which makes it inherently political. It is undeniably a propaganda outlet and therefore comparable in function to RT. You may trust American propaganda over Russian propaganda but that doesn’t mean the former is not propaganda.
I do check out RFE/RL and its sister outlets from time to time. It’s pretty obvious that their agenda aligns 1 for 1 with American foreign policy objectives. To be fair though, the US wouldn’t fund RFE/RL if it didn’t effectively dupe people into believing it was an unbiased source.
What an absurd response. This is akin to saying RT isn’t Russian state propaganda.

Just a question, what do you know about RFE/RL?
Do you follow any of their news program series?
Do you speak any other languageslioe Ukrainian, Belarusian or Georgian?

Is there anything else that you noticed beyond “aligns with US foreign policy objectives”.
Did you only read it in English? What other language services from them did you read.
How’s that relevant? Do you have counter evidence for any of the points I made or are you just desperately trying to prove you’re not a dupe?
I agree with you, I am very desperately trying to prove something to someone who can’t even read the work of RFE/RL!
Total dupe!
