If I were Trump and it is within his power I would defund NPR in a heartbeat.
They are nothing more than liberal liars broadcasting on our dollars. I would shut them down and auction off their buildings and equipment.
Deep Stater Leftist/Globalists in VOA...it’s nothing new.
Ok, so defund it as it is no longer doing its intended mission— along with PBS, NPR, the Legal Services Corporation and a wealth of other federal agencies. Why not just reduce all federal agencies by 30 percent immediately, then 10 percent per year until the budget is balanced. Have any federal jobs been lost as a result of the corona virus? Stupid question....
Federal agencies should be cut back to what they were in George Washington’s Presidency.
No, not simply “defund” NPR. Shut it down and sell it and return all profits to the US treasury. Taxpayers made NPR. We taxpayers should benefit from our investment.
The Chinese are like Lesbians, they’re total buzz kills ruining everyone’s good time.
Zero.
They are like the UN, WHO, and PBS. We taxpayers fund nearly all of it, and China controls them.
Yeah that would be good too. But this is about VOA.
Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
16mm private sector employees laid off in the last two weeks, we continuing to work taxpayers are going to have our earnings confiscated to pay them for not working. Anyone heard of any “government” employees being laid off or fired with no promise of being paid for their time off? Government employees get a paid vacation, we lose our jobs or pay for everyone else to take time off. The list...
Foreign policy, national defense, immigration control, and removing trade barriers among the states. That’s about it.
It surprises me not at all that VOA has been infiltrated a juicy target no doubt.
Defund all these pro-Communist groups.
VOA has been a subversive agent within our gates since at least the late ‘40s.
I believe that Amanda Bennett is still head of VOA. WIKI: Bennet was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, investigative journalist and editor and was named Director of the Voice of America in March 2016. Through 2013, she was Executive Editor, Bloomberg News, where she created and ran a global team of investigative reporters and editors. She was also co-founder of Bloomberg News’ Women’s project.
That says it all.
VOA is a nest of foreign and foreign-influenced spies and propagandists.
The “local” employees know very little... They don’t even understand the VOA mission, and are generally poorly educated hard-leftists, with very few exceptions.
I know whereof I speak.
Everytime an American looked at an item for where it was made, in it came from this country (China). Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CoVid19. Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it before Italy.
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker falsely claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .
