Friendly reminder that Russian, Chinese, and other Dictatorships' state media outlets are ecstatic that Krasnov is gutting VOA.
That's like other drug dealers cheering the biggest drug dealer getting gutted.
Sometimes a broken clock can be correct.
VOA is a CIA Imperialist propaganda tool, like USAID, and deserves to be removed. But don't take my word for it, read the CIA's own files about it before this administration hides that info as well.
Edit: Downvote all you want. That doesn't change facts. So if you're defending the removal of VOA and USAID you're basically defending American Imperial propganda and the vile tactics of the CIA.
Good luck with those ethical gymnastics.
think about what it means that it's not far right enough for the far right to want to keep it around
Absolutely. Though I suspect that it's more they want to create their own specific fascist leaning messaging.
I’m asking genuinely: I understand that VOA is bad, but isn’t any ruling which blocks the mass firings from DOGE and trump a good thing?
Like I said a broken clock is correct twice a day.
Yea, thwarting DOGE/Muck and Trump feels good, but then end result of them taking down USAID and VOA is actually better for the world and ultimately American citizens.
No more propaganda. No more easy coverups for the CIA influencing and attempting coups.
The downvotes always come from those that are unaware they are helping prop up fascism
Agreed. Blue MAGA liberals will never understand they are the guard dogs for fascism because they will never let go of Capitalism.
Edit: Don't let the truth get you so riled up Blue MAGA. lol
So US propaganda will continue to flow

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
