🔴 The #Czech Republic is pushing for #EU support to keep Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty #RFERL running after the #Trump administration cut funding for the global broadcaster

In 1989-2016, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty ran a great jazz show, playing and talking jazz for the (former) Soviet republics.
It's the only program which has its own section on the RFE/RL's EN.Wikipedia page.
And here's a Ukrainian web archive of this show: https://ds.it.net.ua/

@npr What I would do… I would have a clear as hell #Twitter label for #media that’s known to be demonstrably ‘government controlled’ like #RT, I would keep ‘state affiliated’ for softer influence like #VOANews #RFERL #bbcworldservice #AJEnglish, and have ‘public broadcaster’ #bbc #npr. (And keep an eye on whether government interference continues #BBC which might shift it toward my ‘state affiliated’ category)
