    Friendly reminder that VOA, aka Voice of America, is a subsidiary of the US Agency for Global Media. It was established to convince people in the Soviet sphere that the US was better in every way. It continues that mission with America’s allies and enemies today.

    The process of opening up a country’s media space is integral to getting those State department messages in there.

        Didn’t read but don’t care. Still, it’s also important to know sources.

        Good propaganda machines tell the truth most of the time.

        Always keep your guard up.
