For many decades a major propaganda outlet for the avalanche of WarParty adventures and warcrimes, when it start moving away
from slavish repetition of the corporation's press releases and handouts.
It's goose was cooked when the MAGA wannabe dictatorship lied and cheated it's way into office...
This is in line with the useless frump agenda of destroying anything of use in the federal government and cranking up spending
on militarism and handouts to the bribers of the malignant narcissus frump.
"..The Trump administration has terminated 639 employees at Voice of America and its parent organization in the latest round of sweeping cuts that have reduced the international broadcasting service to a fraction of its former size.
The mass terminations announced Friday rounds out the Trump-led elimination of 1,400 positions since March and represents the near-complete dismantling of an organization founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda, whose first broadcast declared: “We bring you voices from America.”
Just 250 employees now remain across the entire parent group the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), who operated what was America’s primary tool for projecting democratic values globally.
..
VOA once reached 360 million people weekly across dozens of languages, former USAGM CEO and director John Lansing told Congress in 2019. In March, the White House put out a statement calling the outlet “propaganda”, “leftist” and dubbed it “The Voice of Radical America”. One of the examples cited to justify that explanation was VOA’s refusal to use the term “terrorist” to describe members of Hamas unless in statements, which falls in line with common and basic journalistic practice.
