RESPONSE
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is a media outlet which promotes democratic values and institutions and advance human rights by reporting the news in countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. In 23 countries, RFE/RL journalists provide what many people cannot get locally: uncensored news, responsible discussion, and open debate.
Radio Liberty is funded by the U.S. Congress through USAGM, an independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. Under International Revenue Service rules, it is a private, nonprofit corporation.
There is no evidence to support the claims that RFE/RL is acting as a "saboteur" in Azerbaijan or any other country in which it operates.
See more examples of disinformation claims, alleging that Radio Liberty is forbidden to broadcast in the US, because they a propaganda channel and and that Radio Liberty and Voa are a part of American-propaganda machine and are banned in the USA.
