It’s an actual factual CIA propaganda outlet, funded by the USA government to advance its interests.

They support actual US propaganda more than they support well-trusted international news agencies like Associated Press and SCMP.

They’ve taken down Associated Press articles for “missinformation” and SCMP articles for “propaganda.” Yet, RFA/RFERL articles are perfectly fine.

Looking at the modlog, they also remove any comments that discuss their removal policy.
