Who let VOA run as it always has.

What changed in the last few weeks, that now VOA is supposed to be the propaganda arm?

Yeah, poorly.

 

[scruffy]

Yes, yes you are.

Derailing your own thread again?

You leftards are hopeless.

Clueless and hopeless.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

No.

The atmosphere in the capital has changed.

That's what's different.

It's gone rancid, rotten.

Smells like fascism and sycophancy.

Exposing fraud, waste and corruption is the definition of fascism

Amazing!

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

That is fake news. He did not have a "prescreened" press pool.

You want a "prescreened press pool?

The tRump *administration is removing reporters from places that still say "gulf of Mexico" like the rest of the planet.

There's your prescreening.

Kid Sniffing *Joe had cue cards on who to call on. Everybody saw it.

 

[FA_Q2]

WTF are you babbling about?

You being MAGA, just on the other side. Is your reading comprehension that bad? Have you graduated second grade yet?

 

[SeaMajor7]

The gravy train is OVER for FAKE NEWS INC, and they are sqwealing like the stuck PIGS that they are.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fuck em'.

 

[Crepitus]

The smell of victory.

Victory smells like an unflushed public urinal to you?

You people are so damn weird....

 

[Crepitus]

You being MAGA

Furthest thing from it, Son.

 

[martybegan]

Of course it is. It exemplifies the free press.

A government press organ exemplifies free press?

 

[Crepitus]

Who paid Politico $30M. LOL

Subscribed to a news service.

 

[martybegan]

Subscribed to a news service.

The government paid for the subscriptions, and paid a ton for each one.

Why does the government need that many politico subscriptions?

 

[Crepitus]

Exposing fraud, waste and corruption is the definition of fascism

Amazing!

They are making that stuff up.

 

[Crepitus]

A government press organ exemplifies free press?

Yes.

 

[martybegan]

Yes.

Press controlled by the government is not free press.

It was more free than the places we broadcast it into, but not free press.

 

[Crepitus]

Press controlled by the government is not free press.

It was more free than the places we broadcast it into, but not free press.

Funded, not controlled.

Until tRump at least.

 

[g5000]

Lol when Biden had a pre-screened press pool, you have very little standing in talking about free press.

How quickly you tards forget.

You said something about a "pre-screened press pool" did you, hypocrite?

Trump press ban: BBC, CNN and Guardian denied access to briefing​

​

The White House barred several news organizations from an off-camera press briefing on Friday, handpicking a select group of reporters that included a number of conservative outlets friendly toward Donald Trump.

The “gaggle” with Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, took place in lieu of his daily briefing and was originally scheduled as an on-camera event.


This just recently:

White House bars AP reporter from Oval Office because of AP style policy on ‘Gulf of America’​

​

During Trump's first term:

White House revokes press passes for dozens of journalists​

​

Benito Trump does NOT like it when reporters call him on his bullshit:

White House bans CNN reporter after confrontation with Trump​

YOu guys keep telling us what great fans of free speech you are, what's your take on this?

Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Richard Grenell accused Voice of America’s Chief National Correspondent Steve Herman of acting in a “treasonous” way for posting a quote critical of the Trump administration while reporting on recent lawsuits being filed against the Trump administration following the shuttering of USAID over the weekend.

He quoted someone who said destroying USAID makes American less safe at home and abroad. He posted his article on twitter where Grenell saw it and replied.

“Aren’t you a taxpayer funded “reporter” for @voa?”

“Why are you working against President Trump’s reform plans for the U.S. budget? You weren’t elected. It isn’t too much to suggest this is treasonous. You don’t get to work against the official U.S. government policies while being paid by US taxpayers. You should be immediately fired,” added Grenell, who Trump also recently made the Kennedy Center’s interim executive director.


Pretty sure he's just doing his job, but the trumpers don't see it that way. You must be loyal or you must be in prison, or worse.

Trump Envoy Accuses VOA Reporter of ‘Treasonous’ Behavior for Reporting a Quote Critical of the President

In 1994, Congress went passed a law to create an explicit “firewall” between the VOA and the partisan politics of Washington, D.C..

Yes, fascists consider anyone who calls Benito Trump on his bullshit to be traitors.

Nothing to worry about...

 

[martybegan]

Funded, not controlled.

Until tRump at least.

Bullshit.

What controls it can be called "an independent agency of the US government" all you want, but its still government controlled.

 

[Rawley]

The government paid for the subscriptions, and paid a ton for each one.

Why does the government need that many politico subscriptions?

Why do they need any? Politico reports on what is going on in Washington - the town they own. And all the important stories are published for free.

Politics, Policy, Political News - POLITICO

Nobody knows politics like POLITICO.
