Voice of America is a global news network funded by American taxpayers. It spends about $200 million each year on its mission to “tell America’s story” and “present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively” to people around the globe.
Today, however, VOA too often speaks for America’s adversaries—not its citizens.
The Coronavirus pandemic is no exception. Secrecy from the Communist Party of China allowed the deadly virus to spread across the world.
Journalists should report the facts, but VOA has instead amplified Beijing’s propaganda. This week, VOA called China’s Wuhan lockdown a successful “model” copied by much of the world—and then tweeted out video of the Communist government’s celebratory light show marking the quarantine’s alleged end.
Even worse, while much of the U.S. media takes its lead from China, VOA went one step further: It created graphics with Communist government statistics to compare China’s Coronavirus death toll to America’s. As intelligence experts point out, there is simply no way to verify the accuracy of China’s numbers.
The Coronavirus story is just one example of this pattern. Last year, VOA helped highlight the Twitter feed of Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif while he was issuing threats against the U.S. and sharing Russian anti-U.S. propaganda videos.
“VOA will represent America,” its guiding Charter reads. And for years after its founding during World War II, VOA served that mission by promoting freedom and democracy across the world for audiences who longed for both.
Today, VOA is promoting propaganda instead—and your tax dollars are paying for it.

Reading through many of these VOA leadership CVs, there is a common thread: Many belong to the Council on Foreign Relations.
VOA/RFE are disgusting propaganda outlets spilling lies on a daily basis.
it has come to the President’s notice, front, and center. Prepare for the ax to fall.
Freepers, please comment about this Council for Foreign Relations link
CFR has always been Swampy.
Wow. Interesting!
and I bet every one of them is a Democrat.
is it n true Ted Cruz’s wife Heidi is a member?
The link is clear. I have previously explained how do they lie with proof. Not only they are propagandists there is nothing pro-American in their propaganda unless you count the Deep State and globalist line as such.
It fact their brazen lies turn informed audience abroad from US because it is clear they up to no good.
Didn’t it used to be the voice of freedom in the USSR?
VOA has always been a CIA mouthpiece. And the CIA is the enforcement arm of un-American globalism.
Next question.
This certainly isn’t the VOA of the WWII era.

Thank you for this post.
I’m not shocked by the VOA’s collusion with the Council of Foreign Relations.
Every VOA video that I’ve viewed on YouTube has consisted of Globalist Propaganda.
Sadly, VOA is no longer a trusted, Pro-American outlet. It has devolved into an Anti-American, Open Borders, Globalist propaganda network.
VOA is not to be trusted.
I think the VOA carpet is about to be badly beaten by President Trump
Watch the fur fly! It was no accident that this detailed statement was released in the ‘official’ White House press releases and statements today.
It is a warning. So the upcoming housecleaning does not come as a total surprise. Now we know how he feels.
President Trump has my 100% support
Amen!
MAGA 2020!
