Voice of America now broadcast in US, Alt Right kids running it!!!

[Stuart]

Taxpayers are now paying for domestic US propaganda broadcast on the radio, which, among talk shows on politics nationwide, is already 80% 'conservative! The former neutral Board of Directors bounced, now being run by two 20s something kids from Alt Right backgrounds!
Stalin, we are close, Putin Proud.
Call your senators and congresspeople and tell others to do the same across the country.
Now it is media control by them paid by us!

Hmm. First- VOA has been available in the us since 2013.

2nd- Trumps appointees- Trump has assigned two former campaign aides, New Hampshire state director Matthew Ciepielowski and Wisconsin communications director Matthew Schuck to oversee on a temporary basis until a new CEO is appointed. They supposedly have no involvement in decisions (and so far- none).

Worth watching for sure. But the sky is not falling (on this issue at least).

Former neutral and experienced Board of Directors do not now exist.
Two, these kids ARE in power now
Three, VOA can now broadcast in the US!
Four, taxpayers paying for whatever this administration wants to air. Think it will be factual or positive?

As I pointed out- VOA has been broadcast in the US for several years- starting under the Obama administration.

And as I pointed out, those "two alt right kids" have no control over the news content. Maybe wait and see who Trump actually puts in control? Or better yet, see what becomes of the programming?

And let's be honest- VOA has long been used to promulgate pro US propaganda/news . Maybe the issue should be with its existence at all, not whether it's "our people" or "there people" using it for manipulation.
