US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally-funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being “anti-Trump” and “radical”.

A White House statement said the order would “ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda”, and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media railing against the “leftist”, “partisan” VOA.

    Leftist and partisan are not how I, an actual leftist, would describe the various propaganda outlets scattered around the world such as VOA.

    It’s a cia op. And literally always was. Since 1942 when it was established.
