Of course they do.

Trump benefiting fellow authoritarian regimes comes as no surprise.

There is this new thing called the World Wide Web you may not have heard of it. But people all over the planet can get news and media almost instantly from across the globe.

Yep. The more isolated we make ourselves, with our "you need us more than we need you" foreign policy, the more our adversaries like it. And an important part of that is the projection of soft power that we've given up, such as VOA & USAID.

We're doing their work for them.

But at least Trump and his pals aren't taking a big tax hit! Yay!

The MAGA minions are so clueless they do not understand the implications of the many things Trump is doing.

You are so stupid you don't realize that countries, like China and North Korea, block social media that does not support them. You are so stupid that citizens, of many poor countries throughout the world, do not have access to the internet. They have radios.
Stupidity is Trump's life blood.

Unfortunately, the VOA was too much into spreading DEI and trannyism throughout the world.

And you are very ignorant of technology. I can make it look like my computer is in a different state or country with a VPN and there is also Tor or the Dark Web which has as many political sites as the other nasty crap that are almost impossible to block. The tools to connect to the WWW are cheap.

It would be best if you didn't talk about things you don't understand and stop calling out other peoples stupidity.

You do realize you can block radio signals as well, right?

 

[there4eyeM]

Broadcasting our view of things to the world is very inexpensive and has no downside. There is no reason to stop doing it.

 

[Meathead]

Revenge. Cruelty. Owning da libz. Their three top priorities.

Just the last which is so easily done, mostly their own doing.

How can one defend such stupidity?

They are happy that Marxists and Commies faking being reporters are no longer paid for by taxpayers?

It's not that cheap. The VOA building is here in Prague. It is surrounded by fencing and secured by officers with overpaid staffers. It has outlived its usefulness with the end of the Cold War and nobody listens to it anymore. It is not the beacon it once was.

It's also been taken over by SJW nitwits, and broadcasts lefty tripe, not American values.

Please give me an example of that.

Radio-Free Europe worked fairly well to plant and nurture seeds of democratic (small D) discontent in Eastern Europe.

But, given the non-European / non-Western servile nature of several other VOA audiences...

I'm not so sure that the money spent on VOA is yielding enough of an ROI to make it worthwhile...

Just thinking-out-loud... I do not have empirical data to support such a speculation... but it's worth articulating...
