Broadcast Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is suing the U.S. Agency for Global Media because it appears to be like to revive its U.S. authorities funding. In the criticism, the group argues partially, "For decades, Congress has appropriated funding… in recognition of the critical role that Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty plays in providing accurate, uncensored news in countries where a free press is threatened." One journalist who has skilled life in a spot and not using a free press is Alsu Kurmasheva, who was held captive in Russia for practically a yr. She’s now a press freedom advocate for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and joined CBS News to debate the lawsuit and the broadcaster’s mission.
