On the history of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty of promoting the interests of the American Empire, and downplaying issues related to police brutality and racism.
Abstract: -
Excerpt:
With a budget that hovers around $100 million, RFE/RL broadcasts to something like to 22 countries in 26 languages. And the same censorship regime extends to just about every RFE/RL language division.
I've looked at about a dozen of them. Most have no coverage of the protests at all. A couple - like the Russian and Afghanistan division - do have tiny protest stories, but they are given very little attention.
In the case of RFE/RL's Russian coverage, the protests are presented from the most reactionary perpesctive possible: denying racism and blaming violence on organized armed anarchist communist group - aka Antifa.
