USAID was being used to propagandize against, muzzle and attack American citizens. People need to go to jail over this treason.

I said this too - it was the simplest explanation the drive by media was taking bribes

Great question—we need to learn a lot more about the history here.

It looks like the CIA was running a master deception and subversion operation using AID as a front.

So many like Hannity and MSRC made money pointing out the hypocracy of legacy media with an over arching pricipal they were set in their ideology and just promoting what they believed.

I said 15 years ago they were all a bunch of pitchmen no different than Chef Tony or Ron Popeil reading scripts and creating ad copy.

Paid actors - sell outs - losers

We knew this had to be going on. Now we know where the money mostly came from. I say mostly because the audits are long from being over.

Just to Note - the Columbia Journalism Review believes USAID funding "journalists" is a good thing.

Also noted this from the article

RSF also noted the harsh effect on journalism in Ukraine, where 90 percent of news organizations rely on USAID funding,

I read the list of what USAID was funding - and thought it was off of the Babylon Bee at first. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Billions of tax dollars spent on the most ridiculous of programs - while we get up and go to work every day to pay for it.

Yet American families that were devastated by Hurricane Helene in North Caroline couldn’t get help from FEMA and this young American man couldn’t pay for his inhaler after the price jumped from $66 to over $500:

Daily Mail:

“Young man dies in agony after price of his inhaler rose from $66 to $540”

Is someone investigating this along with the journolist of years ago? Now appears to be the time to take another look at that story the media buried back then.
