Wonder if the next president just tries to put it all back together .... https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/16/trump-voa-voice-of-america/
It will take decades to undo all the things this admin is doing. Assuming we get the chance. So replace VOA with OAN or perhaps some Russian funded propaganda outlet?
“The cancellation of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty grant agreement will be a huge gift to America’s enemies…….The Iranian Ayatollahs, Chinese communist leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL after 75 years. Handing our adversaries a win would make them stronger and America weaker,” VOA RFE/RL President
Skeptical, but probably a non-issue post 2012. US media propaganda 83 years old Less than 1,000 staff $267m budget Smith-Mundt Act prohibited access by Americans due to propaganda Modernized… Content available to Americans post 2012 China is applauding the shut-down. What is the CIA doing now? Modern propaganda is proliferated via podcast, X, Facebook, Reddit, Bluesky, TikTok, etc. Legacy media has already been branded. I’d like to see the resident LINOs Rand Paul or Thomas Massie (LOL) force the Admin to report to Congress the plan to ensure that the Government doesn’t turn the propaganda inward against Americans.
Radio broadcasts will still continue to promote freedom and democracy, but the broadcasts will be coming from our former allies in Canada, Mexico, and Europe INTO the United States.
Aww, mean ole American propaganda. I take it you prefer yours Russian style or CCP style. You and WPG should get together for a self-flagellating circle jerk.
surprise, Xi and his tribe cheered when they heard the news now they can claim that even the POTUS realized that all the bad stories about China were all lies. MAGA - you proud? ‘How gratifying’: Cheers in China as Trump dismantles Voice of America One nationalist influencer called it “truly gratifying.” Another said he was laughing his head off. And a state-media editorial hailed the demise of what it called the “lie factory.” Chinese nationalists and state media could hardly contain their schadenfreude after President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to dismantle Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Asia (RFA) and other US government-funded media organizations that broadcast to authoritarian regimes. For years, the Chinese government and its propaganda apparatus have relentlessly attacked VOA and RFA for their critical coverage of China, particularly on human rights and religious freedom. And now, the Trump administration is silencing the very institutions that Beijing has long sought to undermine – at a time when China is spending lavishly to expand the global footprint of its own state media.
One irony is that Trump selected Kari Lake to run the VOA and turn it into a platform to promote MAGA. DOGE at least for now has eliminated that platform.
still trying to get MAGA to explain how China cheering our moves and Russia cheering our moves while our allies bemoan them is a good thing. the USA has went from a beacon of freedom leading the western civilized world with strength and compassion to a transactional bully with a big stick unconcerned about who that stick hurts and aligning ourselves with Putin and Xi. is that what so many Americans have fought and died for? MAGA, can you answer that for me?
Lol... China was programming their talking points. That communist BS waste of money needs to be shut down. I love seeing all these Leftist grifters lose their free taxpayer funded jobs.
Waiting for the Trumpeteers to say the ironic words to the effect, “Those Commie bastards had it comin’!”
I'm sure the sound techs, engineers etc (who probably have no political motivation) are glad you are laughing at their families distress. I miss COMPASSIONATE conservatism.
