RFE and VOA are still around and were very pissed when Trump tried to cut their funding. That was one of his more useful attempts but the courts ruled against it. I listened to shortwave in the '90s but almost all of the international broadcasters have shut down their transmitters in favor of the internet. 50 KW transmitters aren't cheap. Radio Moscow became Radio Sputnik which is mostly the Sputnik News Agency now. https://sputnikglobe.com/ I won't claim rt.com is fair and balanced but it's not as over the top as sputnik. However some of the stories are worth pursuing in other sources.
