Freedom Center Investigates has lately been covering abuses at the Voice of America including attacking the Front Page Magazine as ‘Islamophobic’, running Taliban attacks on Trump and employing an Afghan ex-Jihadist who had fought in a Jihadist group under Osama bin Laden’s mentor to attack Trump.
This from frontpagemag.com.
Finally, the end is near.
After FCI reported the above, all employees at the VOA have been placed on administrative leave and many of the affairs of the Agency of Global Affairs Media are being wound down.
To be witnessing the end of a long successful run leaves many with mixed feelings. There was a time when the broadcast was a true voice of freedom, but increasingly the funded media outlets—like the typical propaganda media outlets—are hostile to America and the cause of freedom. Not long ago there were terrible things circulating about the Persian language VOA being infiltrated by Iran regime supporters. And the VOA’s decision to push anti-Trump propaganda on Americans was a profound violation of its charter and mission.
Many believe America should have a ‘voice’ to represent our message abroad, but the current system that was set up during the Cold War may no longer be salvageable. Anything infected by the media is simply a dead end.
FCI’s investigation of USAID and VOA showed how bad the rot was:
USAID provided funding to set up a Mujahadeen propaganda network known as the Afghan Media Resource Center. The terror media network, which reportedly required all personnel to “sacrifice for holy jihad,” operated under the auspices of the United States Information Agency (USIA): the parent organization of Voice of America.
One of the points reported on VOA’s growing extremism was that the Left had repeatedly pushed it to report critically on the United States.
President John F. Kennedy had told Voice of America staffers their mission was:
[To] paint us ‘with all our blemishes and warts,’ all those things about us that may not be immediately attractive.
Taxpayers should not be paying to have an arm of the government telling the rest of the world that America is a terrible place. And certainly not sending that message to Americans.
Final thoughts: Voice of America had become a tool of globalism to bring America to its knees.
