> I wonder when "Radio Free Europe (EU)" becomes a thing in the US

RFE is openly intended as propaganda. NPR does not claim that. They're not the same thing.

There used to be Radio Moscow which in the 1980s was repeated from Havana on AM 1040 for a while. This overpowered 50,000 watt WHO 1040 from Des Moines, Iowa for some folks in the southeastern US. It was an international incident and made the nightly news repeatedly.

Well with defunding of NPR/PBS, propaganda is the only news some areas in the US will now get once some stations close.
