one golf weekend for donnie and the gang costs more than the whole program does soft power is what china and russia fear most. cutting it is bad, subverting it with russian feed is even worse
So VOA is sourcing "news" from OAN. Maybe the agency should also consider Fox News since the so called news organizations have something in common. Pro-Trump network OAN and Smartmatic settle 2020 election defamation case Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims
Almost a certainty that this admin will pay OAN more than VOA cost. Even more of a certainty that the debt/deficit will rise, but now it is just being transferred directly and permanently to the billionaires instead of passing through the plebeians first. The level of sucker you have to first fall for this and then be tricked into defending it more vociferously, viciously, and hysterically with each successive post is beyond even Vlad's wildest dreams. Putin is most RWers buddy, while Americans who think low-income citizens should be able to buy a dozen eggs regularly are their literal enemies. There is no portion of the Matrix that could even anticipate this modern marvel.
A few bits from Wiki about OAN. Owner wouldn't allow polls in 2016 that didn't show Trump in the lead. Also forbade stories on Russian interference. Broadcast debunked claim that Trump had been wiretapped. Claimed the 2020 protests and riots were an orchestrated attempt to bring down Trump. Claimed it was really Michael Cohen who had the affair with Stormy Daniels, not Trump. Falsely claimed Wash Post offered $1,000 to anyone who would accuse Roy Moore of sexual misdeeds. Ran a story that his accusers have tied to drug dealers. And on and on .... One America News Network - Wikipedia
