A federal judge has ruled a Florida-based broadcasting company that provides Russian programs to a Washington radio station must register as an agent of a foreign government
The Justice Department said in a news release Tuesday that RM Broadcasting of Jupiter, Florida, was essentially providing publicity for Russia through an agreement with state-run Rossiya Segodnya. That entity's"Sputnik" programming is broadcast all day on WZHF-AM in the Washington area.
"The American people have a right to know if a foreign flag waves behind speech broadcast in the United States," said John C. Demers, assistant attorney general for national security."Our concern is not the content of the speech, but providing transparency about the true identity of the speaker." Rossiya Segodnya, according to the Justice Department, was created by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2013 to"advance Russian interests abroad." Its goal is to"provide information on Russian state policy and Russian life and society for audiences abroad," according to Putin's decree.
Rosenberg, however, found that a 2017 agreement between the two put RM under the direction or control" of Rossiya Segodnya and as its"publicity agent," requiring RM to register.
