US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally-funded news organisation 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 railing against the “leftist”, “partisan” VOA.
Leftist and partisan are not how I, an actual leftist, would describe the various propaganda outlets scattered around the world such as VOA.
It’s a cia op. And literally always was. Since 1942 when it was established.
ml user cries about propaganda. The irony always gives me a chuckle
They correctly called out VOA for what it is. You pointing out that they made an account on the lemmy.ml instance adds nothing.
Always love when someone throws out the no true scotsman fallacy. Nobody but trump is saying this anyway.
