Charles Herring, president of #OAN, confirmed, âOAN will be supplying an extensive amount of programming, including âHungry Heroes,â a series that highlights the incredible work performed by our first responders and military.ââ©The #Trump admin is fighting in court to defend a March EO dismantling the #USAGM. The order led to >1k #VoiceOfAmerica staffers being placed on paid administrative leave, & broadcasting has stopped for the first time in the organizationâs history.#law #FreePress #VOA

@Nonilex The rising tide of fake ânewsâ outlets just sets this old former journalistâs teeth on edge.

#VoiceOfAmerica began broadcasting in 1942 to combat #Nazi #propaganda during WWII.[& now theyâll be disseminating Nazi propaganda.]US Dist Judge Royce Lamberth issued a preliminary #injunction April 22 blocking #Trumpâs EO from taking effect â a move that would have sent most #VOA staffers back to work this week. But on Sat, a 3-judge federal appeals court panel in Washington that included 2 Trump appointees stayed parts of the injunction, including the part that sent staffers back to work.

#KariLakeâs announcement was met w/outrage from #VoiceOfAmerica staff, who pointed to #OANâs #FarRight views, promotion of #ConspiracyTheories & support of #Trump.â©âVOA is not to be the voice of left America nor the voice of right America,â said Steve Herman @w7voa, chief national correspondent for #VOA.â©â#USAGM cannot dictate [that] VOA run OAN content. It would be a violation of our fire wall & our charter, which are #laws,â he said.đđđ#law #FreePress #FourthEstate #propaganda

â#Congress mandated #VOA to report reliable & authoritative news, not to outsource its #journalism to outlets aligned w/the presidentâs agenda,â they wrote in a stmnt. âVOA already has talented & professional #journalists ready to tell Americaâs story in line w/the VOA Charter, but we are blocked from our own newsroom. That is why we will continue fighting for our rights in court.â#law #FreePress #FourthEstate #propaganda #LegislativeBranch #SeparationOfPowers #ExecutiveOverreach #AbuseOfPower

@Nonilex I remember when it closed down I replied that it was a two-edged sword. I was glad it met its demise with grace vs it becoming a right-wing propaganda outlet, but sad its mission was ended, esp the way it was. I was raised north of Cincinnati. The blinking lights of the towers from the VOA's Bethany Relay station was within my line of sight from the early 70s until I entered the Army in the 90s.Sad indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U_HVECaQs4&ab_channel=NationalVOAMuseumofBroadcasting

David Seide, senior counsel for the #GovernmentAccountabilityProject, which is representing plaintiffs in litigation against the #Trump admin, called the announcement âshocking & illegalâ & said it will be challenged in court.Last year, #OAN settled a #defamation lawsuit w/ #Smartmatic, the #voting tech company, over its coverage of the #2020election & promotion of the #BigLie.#law #FreePress #propaganda #ExecutiveOverreach #AbuseOfPower

In the first #Trump admin, a federal district judge found that the then-CEO of the #USAGM violated the âfire wallâ that ensures that the agencyâs networks arenât mouthpieces of the govt & effectively barred the president from interfering w/the networksâ #content.#law #VoiceOfAmerica #VOA #FreePress #propaganda #ExecutiveOverreach #AbuseOfPower

@Nonilex Trump admin to broadcast right-wing propaganda from OAN over degraded Voice of America.Chances are good that this is just a way to funnel government funds -- taxpayer money -- to far-right propagandists.
