🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
"United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is excited to announce a partnership with One America News Network (OAN) to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio MartĂ, and Voice of America (VOA).
This idea came about after OCB suggested we explore OAN as a newsfeed option for the Miami-based, U.S. Government-funded news operation broadcasting to Cuba. At their suggestion, I reached out to OAN, and they offered to provide their newsfeed and video service free-of-charge.
This is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGM's news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences.
In my current role as Senior Advisor to USAGM, I don't have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs.
And every day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money. Bringing in OAN as a video/news source does both.
OAN is one of the few family-owned American media networks left in the United States. We are grateful for their generosity."

Great idea!
Okay, I guess, maybe. Do we still want to be in the global propaganda business being that it turned out to be a deepstate anti-American counter populism propaganda effort?
I bold-faced what I think is the relevant part. They're probably afraid of govt funding being cut, so they're buttering up to Trump by including a conservative news source.
Trump tried to shut it down, judge said no, so this is what they did...................
If Trump wants to defund it because of the content and a judge won’t let him defund the content then change the content?
Terrible idea. Kill it. Defund it. Don’t allow it live for the next Prog President.
EXACTLY!!!!!.............
“Terrible idea. Kill it. Defund it. Don’t allow it live for the next Prog President.”
that’s pointless: next admin would just revive it and do what they want anyway; in the mean time, the whole thing has been replaced with a zero-cost conservative broadcaster, with no need for 1,500 FedGov employees ...
She worked there when Trump first announced his candidacy for President in 2015.
Yup—the administration has had some interesting workarounds to kooky leftist judicial decisions.
Exactly.
“I wanted to close it. You forced me to keep it open. I will make you regret that decision.”
something sounds not good about USAGM, why on earth would anyone pick a name like that unless they were for globalism?
Main stream media: hey, govt only sleeps with us!!!
Yes. Remember when Fox went WOKE??? Ya....
