  7. This is part of the reason Trump wanted USAID shut down.

    Because some media it funded like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty were exposing the pro-Russia corruption of his friends like Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

    Whatever Trumpists think ”liberty” means these days, it clearly doesn’t involve small countries fighting back against larger, nuclear armed, ones.

  15. #EU will provide emergency funds to help keep #RadioFreeEurope afloat after US cuts

    May 20, 2025

    "The European Union agreed Tuesday to provide emergency funds to help keep Radio Free Europe afloat after the Trump administration stopped grants to the pro-democracy media outlet, accusing it of promoting a news agenda with a liberal bias.

    "Radio Free Europe / #RadioLiberty started broadcasting during the #ColdWar. Its programs are aired in 27 languages in 23 countries across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. Its lawyers have been fighting the administration in court.

    "EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc’s foreign ministers had agreed to a 5.5-million-euro ($6.2 million) contract to 'support the vital work of Radio Free Europe.' The 'short-term emergency funding' is a 'safety net' for #IndependentJournalism, she said.

    "Kallas said the EU would not be able to fill the organization’s funding gap around the world, but that it can help the broadcaster to 'work and function in those countries that are in our neighborhood and that are very much dependent on news coming from outside.' "

  17. #Trump is demanding to attach conditions to congressionally approved grants for #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty before releasing the money, despite a court order blocking it from terminating the funds. Acc/to court filings, Trump wants to be able to unilaterally pause funds for the federally funded broadcaster & shut down parts of its programming, among other moves that lawyers for #RFE say are forbidden by #Congress to ensure journalistic integrity.

  19. Donald Trump’s attempts to defund US Russian-language #counterpropaganda efforts in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Belarus, Central Asia and Russia through #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty failed, so what they did is they actually terminated contracts with satellite companies who transmit those signals.

    If you were trying to help Russia win, this would be it. #Propaganda is by far their strongest suite. In fact perhaps the only thing they are best in the world at. #NAFO

  21. Radio Free Europe says Washington shut off its Russian broadcast despite restraining order.

    Washington has switched off a satellite transmitting the US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty into Russia.

    Although the station won a temporary restraining order against US President Donald Trump's funding freeze, it is still waiting to receive the $77 million it needs to keep running until October.
