I’m sorry, why am I just hearing about “Voice of America” for the first time? If it is publicly funded, why isn’t it also broadcast within the USA?

I understand that’s not its purpose, but if it’s being created to broadcast/distributed to the world, then why can’t we do that at home too? I’m so confused.

I think if most people read VOA they would start thinking about American propaganda differently, when it’s done by MSM it’s a lot less crude than what VOA is pumping out, funnily enough they are one of the few places to have a mastodon account

https://mastodon.social/@VOANews

they also publish in like 50 different languages

VOA is analogous to any other state media ie RT, CGTN (not debating that VOA’s credibility/accuracy vs them)

it’s reporting that aligns with the interest of a certain business/political class that is funding it and most Americans would rather just read corporate MSM media than American state affiliated media so they don’t bother reading it

How does Trump manage to find people that can’t even spew bullshit at a professional level? He’s the biggest bullshitted on the planet, and can’t find anyone better?
