U.S. Broadcaster Under Scrutiny for Disseminating Autocratic Propaganda

Federal officials are scrutinizing the U.S. government’s Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty news service, established to promote democratic values abroad, after complaints it has distributed foreign propaganda favorable to authoritarian regimes in Central Asia, according to the network, its employees and an internal State Department memo.

State Department officials sent a six-page memo to the leaders of Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty earlier this year criticizing a pro-government stance by the service’s Tajikistan network and urging them to intervene following repeated complaints by U.S. diplomats, network employees and academics specializing in Central Asia. They said the network was providing programming favorable to Tajikistan’s president, Emomali Rahmon, his government and family.

How Pseudo Events Are Used by Media to Manufacture Controversy

The public was lied to for close to two years by legacy news outlets and public figures with claims there was “evidence” that the Trump administration colluded with Russia. Contrary to their claims, the Mueller report showed there was no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia. The report showed that all those rumors of evidence and all those claims of anonymous sources were lies.

What’s important to remember is that for these outlets and public figures, facts don’t matter. What matters is how they can twist the facts to keep the public misled and distracted in order to keep their false narratives alive.

Carter Page: Mueller Report is worse than the propaganda from Mussolini, Saddam, and Gadhafi

Throughout history, even the most advanced societies have at times reached troublesome low points in their development. Such nadirs typically come when government operatives achieve authoritarian levels of power over their populace, including loyal citizens. These operatives and their government cronies have frequently created a cult of personality reflecting supreme levels of arrogance and virtually unchecked authority, feeding their need for personal self-aggrandizement by writing a propaganda book. The purpose of such books was often to present some outrageously fictional version of the current reality to their country’s populace. In Italy, Mussolini had his autobiography. In Libya, Qaddafi widely distributed his Green Book both to the masses, in the national media and even with featured quotes on billboards throughout the country. Iraq’s tyrannical Saddam Hussein wrote a series of novellas. The actions of operatives working in support of the Democratic Party reflected such age-old patterns during the 2016 Presidential Election, which eventually led to the creation of the Report that follows —a shameful conglomeration of propaganda meant to sow further discord in the minds of Americans against their fellow citizens.
