Some #Republicans have accused #VOA & other publicly-funded #media outlets of being biased against *conservatives* [liars, criminals & extremists]. Last month, billionaire #ElonMusk, who is spearheading #Trump's government *downsizing* [destruction] effort, called for VOA & #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty to be shut down in a post to social media.
The Paris-based #ReportersWithoutBorders also blasted the move, w/its director general, Thibaut Bruttin, saying that it "threatens press freedom worldwide & negates 80 years of American history in supporting a free flow of #information."
The president of the #NationalPressClub in Washington, Mike Balsamo, released a statement on social media objecting to the moves at #VOA.
"For decades, #VoiceOfAmerica has delivered fact-based, independent #journalism to audiences worldwide, often in places where press freedom does not exist," Balsamo said.
The decision, he said, "undermines America's commitment to a free & independent press."
On its website, #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty notes that it has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian govt & warns readers in #Russia & Russia-occupied #Ukraine that they could "face fines or imprisonment for sharing, liking, commenting on, or saving our content, or for contacting us."
The #USAGM also terminated funding for #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty, which broadcasts to countries in #EasternEurope, including #Russia & #Ukraine, as well as for #RadioFreeAsia, which broadcasts to #China & #NorthKorea, acc/to letters seen by Reuters.
Multiple workers at #VoiceOfAmerica, an international #media broadcaster that operates in >40 languages, shared w/Reuters an email that placed them on administrative leave w/full pay & benefits "until otherwise notified."
The emails, sent by a HR executive at the #US Agency for Global Media, the #VOA's parent agency, instructed them not to enter their work premises or access internal systems.
Employees at #VoiceOfAmerica were placed on paid leave on Saturday & funding for 2 US #news services that broadcast to #authoritarian regimes was slashed, one day after #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder gutting the govt-funded #media outlets' parent & 6 other #FederalAgencies.

KIs plappern #Putin- #Propaganda nach.
#ChatGPT und andere #KI -Bots fallen auf Putins-Propaganda herein und verbreiten diese weiter. Grund dafür ist eine groß angelegte Manipulation durch ein russisches Propagandanetzwerk.
@ProPublica The phrase “workforce management actions” is a truthful as Putin's phrase "special military operation" for full scale war against Ukraine. #postruth #propaganda
@jschreuder : de beste uitkomst is de val van dit ku (oeps) kabinet.

Hoe krijgen we kiezers zover dat zij niet meer in #propaganda trappen?
"Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that the government is to launch a "media war room" to target Palestine content online, in the latest attempt to propagate pro-Israel narratives on internet platforms."
Israel is scared. Despite millions of dollars in #lobbying, buying media, #politicians and #SocialMedia, the truth is coming out. Millions of #activists around the world expose the crimes of #Israel to people of the world.

I love how the Goebbels Gang have managed to convince the #MAGA base that the current stock-market plunge is somehow Biden's fault. Is he the shadow President, and Trump just a front or something?
"Putin will explain what were the goals of the special military operation"

"T.rump administration suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations"
The point of these bullsh*t new stories is to keep the US people riled up and angry at their neighbour instead of their own govt. When Herr T.rump says invade Canada, they won't give it a second thought.

A well-funded Moscow-based global "news" network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda.
From NewsGuard: "An audit found that the 10 leading generative AI tools advanced Moscow’s disinformation goals by repeating false claims from the pro-Kremlin Pravda network 33 percent of the time."
