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 other news agencies or groups of journalists receive federal
funding? Could VOA manage on contributions and
"advertising" ?
 
MSM already does it.

MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in plants, animals, and humans, often used as a dietary supplement for joint health, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects


How does it work on this?
 
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?
We have become what the Voice of America railed against. That is why Trump has ordered the shutdown. He has experienced it.

railed against?

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

My post is actually new info and astonishing .
Could represent multi Trillions of money stolen from the tax payer and thieved from the Government .
Covered all Black OP projects , Secret space programme plus many other wicked areas of corruption.

It's immediate relevance to the Topic is so obvious that I cannot immediately see it .
I suspect that I wrote it but after Sending realised it probably was for another Topic .

But rather than waste another gem, I decided to leave it, knowing most would not read it because it exceeded three sentences , and few would understand it if they even bothered to read it .

But you win a huge prize as the the most observant and interested person .

Be more specific, because I do not see or agree with your statement
 
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.
Nothing wrong with Democrats picking up VOA, making it one-sided, and full of propaganda. What is wrong is to expect ALL US Taxpayers to fund it.

The Democrats and their funders are more than free to pick up the VOA brand and take it any direction they would like. The US Taxpayer is also free from having to fund political propaganda.

lots of people can be believed. In general---public media
is UNRELIABLE. Journalists ALWAYS present a POV. Do you
consider Trump and Fox News PARTICULARLY unreliable?
Can you cite an example?
 
I think Trump should have just fired all of the staff, hired conservative pundits, and kept it going disseminating constitutional principles and laws to the people. Just put the whole thing in reverse and fund it even more to counteract all of the leftist bullshit that's been spewed for decades to the masses.
