After Freedom Center Reporting, Trump Ends ‘Voice of America’

[eagle1462010]

No need to fund the media.

Left can fund it. But not with other peoples money.

Government funded speech is called "Propaganda"

Voice of America has been representative of the U.S. for 83 years. Are you saying it has been offering propaganda for all these years?

and if so, why not? Don't all countries do it for their purpose?

China cheers on Trump and his dismantling of the Voice of America.

China and authoritarians everywhere love Trump.

“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.”

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.

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.”

What will thrill MAGAs is that China is filling the void by starting the Voice of China. MAGAs everywhere I am sure will be tuning in.

First it was pro-American propaganda; then after the Left took it over, anti-American propaganda.

Wait, did you think they were a news outlet?

That was its very function from its inception, and it is a running joke among cognoscenti who keep all CIA assets closely monitored .

For the record...

For 83 years, Voice of America has been the voice of Democracy, or of the principles of the Constitution. They have NEVER been representatives of the president.

You should see the video and do research on what it is what they have been asked to do for this entire period of time. Show me where they have changed on what their purpose was from day one.

Reagan and Bush Sr. lauded them.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

When it propagates only one side, it isn't the voice of America. It's the voice of Democrats only.

Free speech means allowing and disseminating the views and voices of all sides.

So strictly going by your rube logic, Fox, OAN, NewsMax, Gateway Pundit, etc. don't practice free speech because it's the voices of republicans only. Got it.

Thanks.

Why do we need to pay for any of that today?

Trump moves to close down Voice of America​

US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back federally funded news organization Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical".

A White House statement said the order would "ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda", and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media criticising the broadcaster.

Here is the reality of who the Voice of America is.

SPJ opposes shutdown of Voice of America as blow to press freedom​

The Society of Professional Journalists strongly opposes the decision to shut down Voice of America and the other news organizations under the United States Agency for Global Media.

“This is the first time in its more than 80 years of operations that VOA has gone dark, and that makes this a dark moment in the history of press freedom,” said SPJ President Emily Bloch. “By issuing an executive order that closes the USAGM, the Trump administration accomplished in one day what the former Soviet Union and present-day dictators could not in 83 years – the end of fair and accurate reporting into countries that lack press freedom rights.”

Do you see this as a move against Free Speech, by Trump?

Cold war is over. The Iron Curtain is gone. VOA and RFE have served their purpose and are no longer needed. A stupid waste of money.

Lol.

It might very well be that this matter has arisen in front of mind boggling info that will literally set the world on fire.

Suppose, for example, that Deep State has been funding the Breakaway Civilisation by illegally creating money ---- -- multi trillions over the decades . Through the Federal Reserve private club .

And if it turns out to be the case , the American tax payer has not only been charged for interest on correctly raised Debt but also on this illegal hidden money .

You need to pray that this narrative is totally wrong because , if not, you could be looking at a dollar which loses 90% of its value .

Then think through the implications .
You will be speechless when the "penny" drops .

 

[LA RAM FAN]

It is and has been the voice of free a speech AMERICA and counters the propaganda of authoritarian regimes, which Trump seems to emulate. Free speech means ALL views and not only Republicans OR Democrats or Putin lovers.

that’s old news the awake gave know forever but what’s that have to do with the topic by the wanker?

 

[Luckyone]

I think that question should be asked of all those that want to Make America Great Again.

That was what every president saw in the Voice of America up until Trump. Voice of America is what was used to let the world know what we represented. Voice of America fought all the propaganda that was being thrown at us by all the countries that wanted to do us harm.

Don't worry Dems you still have plenty of FAKE NEWS outlets spewing your Dem lies and propaganda 24/7.

It stopped being representative of the USA when the deep state, globalist, Marxists took it over 20 odd years ago.

No.

I looked at some of the videos on the VOA's Youtube channel. You're right: they are infused with wokeness and an apologetic stance about America.

Thanks I noticed it about 2 years ago. And the one that kept interrupting Trump with Palkyweid terminology propaganda when he met Irish PM, was VOA lib.
