http://thegrayzone.com/2020/06/07/us-propaganda-censor-black-lives-matter-protests/Date Written: 2020-06-07 Publisher: The Gray Zone Year Published: 2020 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX24800 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.
