8 journalists fired after Menendez comes to Soros' defense
World Net Daily ^ | March 5, 2019 | Staff

Eight reporters and editors at U.S. tax-funded TV and Radio Marti, which broadcasts in Spanish to communist Cuba, have been fired after a report aired portraying left-wing billionaire George Soros in an unflattering light.

The Washington watchdog Judicial Watch explained the firings came at the request of scandal-plagued Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey.

Menendez, who has been accused of hiring prostitutes and misusing funds for personal benefit, demanded an investigation that resulted in the dismissals, Judicial Watch said.

Judicial Watch said that at Menendez’s request, Obama appointee John Lansing of the U.S. Agency for Global Media used “Stalinist techniques to retaliate against the journalists and producers involved in the Spanish-language segment,” which aired last May.

The firings, Judicial Watch said, citing an unidentified employee at Marti headquarters, created an environment in which “people write with fear.”

The report on Soros said the billionaire had “flexible” morals. The channel operates under the Office of Cuba Broadcasting and is one of five networks run by the USAGM. Created to counter disinformation from repressive states around the globe, it receives nearly $700 million a year from American taxpayers and reaches 345 million people.

Presumably Radio Marti is under the control of the Executive branch. Why would anyone at Radio Marti do the bidding of the disgraced Democrat Menendez? They are theoretically answerable to Trump. More evidence that after two years, Trump still does not have functional control of Federal executive agencies.

And his partner in this was Jeff Flake. Remember that when he does his “more conservative than thou” routine.

Just imagine the filth that would be exposed if the truth ever got out about the real life demon George Soros.

Obama appointee John Lansing of the U.S. Agency for Global Media

Why is he still around two years after Trump won the Presidency. There have been other complaints about the soft line RM has been taking in broadcasts both about Cuba and the Maduro regime.

It is difficult to hold on to integrity when Satan takes you up to a high place and shows you all the kingdoms of the earth and Tell's you its all yours if you worship me. If you don't we will ruin you and kill your children. This is how the soros-bush-globalist operate.
