How does one man repeal a law?
Because “Fundamental Change”. That’s the legacy. Destruction of the Country from the inside out. Brilliant, evil and more.
I remember this action Obama took. I warned everyone here about it.
Dems had control of Congress...............
It appears Obama did whatever he wanted and Trump wasn’t allowed to do anything
The Church Commission on government control and use of the press and media, should have had a more lasting disgust among the sheeple listening to Mockingbirds nattering.
He didn’t repeal the law outright, he issued an Executive Order ordering agencies under his control to interpret the law differently.
While officially legal, it’s very sketchy, at best.
Obama (via Biden) is doing the same thing with the ATF, intending to make private firearms sales much more difficult and risky for the seller. Selling more than one firearm a year can put you in jeopardy and force you to become an FFL (which such a certification is highly discouraged by the ATF these days, anyways).
It’s basically the abuse of Executive Orders to legislate from the Executive branch.
Pelosi ran her House with an iron fist...............
. In 2013, Obama signed legislation that changed the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948,
U.S. Agency for Global Media, the nation’s foreign broadcasting agency,
source of all news? AP out of business?

thanx for dusting this off, red
Obama was a cipher, the figurehead placed at the top of a large deep-state marxist organization that already knew exactly what it wanted to do.
Trump was the exact opposite - a man who knew what he wanted to do, but was placed on top of a deep-state, marxist organization that could resist him at every turn.
I remember when hearin this happened after the fact. It was done in the dead of night and no fanfare. As if we don’t know why. It got almost NO media attention.
Things have gone to hell since then. All we get is propaganda and lies.
US propaganda got so incredibly strong.
It took the media to make it happen pals of the democrat party for over a 100 years.
To my observation, the media was a propaganda machine long before Obama. See Tagline.
I do remember that Obama wanted to put "observers" in the newsrooms to approve the narratives. At the time, even the NYT and WP objected. Since then, they've endorsed the censoring of "disinformation".
That was my question.
Start with Obo’s little helper:
Congressman Mac Thornberry (R-Tx) sponsored the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (HR5736 - 112th Congress in 2012).
From Congress.gov:
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 - Amends the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to authorize the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including about its people, its history, and the federal government’s policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers and instructors. (Under current law such authority is restricted to information disseminated abroad, with a limited domestic exception.)
Authorizes the Secretary and the Board to make available in the United States motion pictures, films, video, audio, and other materials prepared for dissemination abroad or disseminated abroad pursuant to such Act, the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act, or the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act.
Amends the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 to prohibit funds for the Department of State or the Board from being used to influence public opinion or propagandizing in the United States. (Under current law such provision applies to the United States Information Agency [USIA].)
Applies such prohibition only to programs carried out pursuant to the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act, and the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act.
States that such provision shall: (1) not prohibit the Department or the Board from providing information about its operations, policies, programs, or program material, or making such information available to members of the media, public, or Congress; (2) not be construed to prohibit the Department from engaging in any medium of information on a presumption that a U.S. domestic audience may be exposed to program material; and (3) apply only to the Department and the Board and to no other federal department or agency.
