I doubt it also. What’s our VOA these days? Certainly not NPR or PBS, taxpayer-funded though they are (which needs to stop).
In this case the essential feature of VOA was that it was in absolutely no way did the Soviet Union control content, PBS and NPR fail that test for America because of deMille’s law -”He who eats my bread sings my song.”
We, like the inmates behind the Iron Curtain, will have to look outside our country for truth about what’s going on inside our country.
And like them, we will need to discern the propaganda mixed with those truths by the likes of RT, al jezeera, BBC, AFP and any other source.
