Wasn't that a different organization that operated in the 50s? The modern RFA started in the 90s and gets federal funding but is not associated with the CIA. They probably should have used a new name, but is there any other reason you think they are a CIA rag?
- sudosysgen 6y agoRight, so it went from direct CIA command to command by another independent unaccountable US State Department agency in order to further the exact same goal, because of optics. There is no difference between the two. It went from one three-letter agency to another three-letter agency, and it's goals and methods did not change. When US intelligence has credible proof of something and want to be trusted, they go to reputable media or outright publishes it.
- swordsmith 6y agoNot if the "reputable media" are pressured/threatened by CCP
- sudosysgen 6y agoSure. So now the only source we're going to trust is the US State Department. Which, by the way, has quite the history in threatening journalists too. Also, many news sources are already banned in China and have nothing to lose.
