      Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe are good for learning the U.S. State Department’s approved perspective on a given issue.

      The organization was founded to serve the goals of the Cold War and was indeed a CIA front. The secretive CIA support ended in the 70s I think and the org now works with the official U.S. government outlet, Voice of America.

      Radio Free Asia is similar but a separate and legally distinct non-profit organization that started after the end of the Cold War to carry on the mission.
