The cruelty of the Trump administration will be its undoing.

“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.“ — Thomas Jefferson

“Autocrats fear VOA because it stands for truth, justice, and impartiality.”

VOA is trusted where a free press is under attack. That’s exactly why it must stay strong.

“If we silence VOA, we leave the field open to Russia and China… Why would we do this to ourselves?”

BBC Audio | Witness History | The start of Voice of America The broadcaster Voice of America was created in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda

Some history lessons 📚
In the first VOA broadcast in February 1942 it promised, “The news may be good or bad; we shall tell you the truth”.
BBC heard the testimony of Eugene Kern who walked in one day in 1942 to casually ask about a job, and was put to work producing a Finnish programme.

‍🤷‍♂️ Why not do serious, professional examination and analysis — not a slap-dash, cherry-picking, partisan hit job?
Trimble also questions Lake's role model pick, Hungarian President Viktor Orban.
