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.

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?

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.

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.
