"#VOA told the Chinese people about the military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in #Tiananmen Square and the deadly #COVID outbreak in Wuhan when their own government wouldn't. It beamed reports into Iran about the democracy protests in 2009, it told the people of North Korea about their government's gulags and Russians about atrocities in Ukraine. VOA has been supported by every president since 1942 – Republican and Democrat … all but one."

Da said he learned some of his English in college while listening to #VOA broadcasts & also learned news that wasn't reported in the Chinese media.

Da acknowledges that in recent years, VOA was less important as the internet spread. But he says another agency mattered more: the U.S. Agency for International Development (#USAID).

Liam Scott: For #Democracy Activists Around the World, #VOA Represented Hope

"For more than eighty years, Voice of America has broadcast independent news to some of the most censored populations around the world, from people living under #Nazi rule in Europe to those living under the reign of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the violence of Myanmar’s military."

Voice of America, created to counter Nazi propaganda, was rejected by the Soviets and by Vladimir Putin. But some in Moscow wax nostalgic about what the state-funded broadcaster meant for them, especially during the Cold War. #VOA #Russia #Trump

@w7voa not to nitpick, but have you considered seeking a different blogging platform? ANYTHING that is NOT #substack ? They are eager supporters and funders of the machinery that dismantled #VoA and erodes democracy in the US.

Ghost is a fantastic alternative that is open sourced, not owned by broligarchs.

P.S. with you and VoA folks, all the way.
