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.
Under $300 million a year to spread US propaganda to over 300 million people. That’s a fucking bargain man.
This is going to give up so, SO much soft power because of a snowflake’s ego. This is a bad deal.
I guess this is better than making VoA voice of trump.
I’m wondering if it’s going to be “rebuilt”, personally.
