Fake News Garbage

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is an untrustworthy media outlet! It is funded by the US government to push America's lies to the world! Pure garbage.
People, do some research about this media outlet - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty before you praise it and believe the nonsense it spews. Google it or Wikipedia it.

Apple’s cowardice

While I prefer to get RFE/RL’s essential news coverage from their website and RSS feed, I wanted to download the app to call out Apple’s cowardice for removing the app from Russia’s App Store. Yet another extremely questionable decision made by a company that—despite how it strives to portray itself—proves anew every day that it cares much more about profit than its users.
