🇺🇸📺🤐 #Trump fait taire Voice of America🤐📻🇺🇸
👉 g-r-s.fr/trump-fait-taire-la-v
Le réseau de médias d'État des USA, impliqué dans les pires coups de la CIA depuis les années 1950, était encore trop libéral pour Trump. Ces dernières années, elle avait joué un rôle majeur pour contourner les interdictions des pays autoritaires ou totalitaires dans lesquels l'information est sous contrôle. #VoiceofAmerica fut la grande radio qui a agi pour que le bloc soviétique se fissure et va être débranchée. Trump a décidé des centaines de licenciements dans ce média public; la Russie et la Chine s'en félicitent.

@w7voa I am always on here during my rotten remote job taking donation calls. It has gotten more interesting/tragic lately.

Got a call for #FreeSpeech tv from an elderly woman who recalled to me being a child in #Hungary huddling around the radio with her family listening to #VoiceofAmerica broadcasts so low they could hardly hear it. This was crucial as if their neighbors heard them they could be turned in and disappeared just for wanting to hear the truth. #trump is a #fascist #dictator

От "журналісти" цієї #VoiceOfAmerica поскаржилися до суду на адміністрацію #Trump. І що? Виграєте суд, думаєте він погодиться з вашим існуванням, як #media за кошт бюджету? Програєте суд, вас візьмуть на роботу в круте ЗМІ?

Якщо ви класні журналісти і тупий Трамп цього не розгледів і знищив вашу кар'єру в державному медіа, чому ви не шукаєте собі іншу роботу? Не хочуть брати? Чесно? Ми б теж не взяли

Continued thread

"• The Trump Administration targeted private universities — canceling $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University; pausing $175 million for the University of Pennsylvania; and Johns Hopkins cut research after losing $800 million in USAID grants

• Trump began dismantling Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia"

Posting in my personal capacity since I was placed on Administrative Leave by USAGM. Over the past week, the #US government made the abrupt decision to place employees of #VoiceofAmerica, Office of Cuba Broadcasting, & USAGM on leave, terminate contracts of individual contract staffers, & end financial support for grantee organizations Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, MBN, Open Technology Fund. This has caused significant hardships to staff…#saveVOA

Voice of America journalist speaks out as #China and #Russia celebrate #Trump ⭕silencing news outlet

Mar 19 2025

The #Trumpadministration is silencing government-funded news outlets, including #VoiceofAmerica.

Voice of America chief national correspondent #SteveHerman speaks out about the dismantling of his organization and share more on the vital work they do

Really glad to hear that Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is challenging the termination of its grant under the United States Agency for Global Media.

Also good news that Europe is voicing support for RFE/RL.

"Lipavsky's Polish counterpart, Radek Sikorski, also voiced support for RFE/RL, recalling how his father listened to the station as well as the Voice of America broadcaster during the Cold War.

"'It's how we learned the basic facts about our own countries because communist propaganda was so tightly controlled,' he told reporters. 'And these institutions continue to do similar work for autocracies today.'"

RFE/RL · VOA Sues Overseer USAGM To Restore Operations After Trump OrderBy RFE/RL

"As I reflect on my final months at VOA from my apartment in northwest DC, I know that although I lost my job, other colleagues risk much more. Ten journalists from VOA, RFA, & RFE/RL remain jailed around the world—in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Myanmar, Russia, Russian-occupied Crimea, and Vietnam—all for doing their jobs."
