    RFE/Radio Liberty, which went through its own round of furloughs earlier this year, said this week that it received its last round of federal funding in September and its news services are continuing for now.

    “We plan to continue reaching our audiences for the foreseeable future,” it said.

    It’s not immediately clear why RFA and RFE/Radio Liberty – which share the same governing and funding structure, but are based in the US and Europe, respectively – are taking different approaches.

      If I remember correctly, when the US said it would stop funding RFE, a few European countries stepped in to make sure it could continue operating with their funding. 🤡 Total sheep dogs.
